If this is what he wants to do, I am SURE he will do it LEGALLY!
I read an interesting article about whether Donald John Trump could hire his three eldest children to work in his administration. The article noted that the nepotism law seemingly prohibits such a hiring.
Yet, one law professor noted that IF the children refused a salary, then it could be possible. Of course, it is being presumed that the three eldest children would run the Trump business, which he would probably be more comfortable with.
Find the 60 Minutes interview and watch it instead of making uninformed guesses.
Big ****ing deal. He's packing his cabinet to insure that the changes made and position appointed will enrich him and his cronies even further and you think the pocket change of 400K is anything more than another publicity stunt? Maybe he should have requested that it be divvied up between the small business owners he refused to pay when they delivered the goods.
It is real FUNNY to read ALL THESE SO CONCERNED yet, they voted for Bill and Hillary.
How much does bill get for a speech?
How could they "When we left the White House we were dead broke" get so rich and now worth MORE then Trump?
Had NO concerns when Al gore wrote his book and became rich.
Does anyone think he would have sold so many IF he had NOT been the VP.

One does not need to be a "liberal cheerleader" to dislike Trump.
There is a problem when a politician uses his position to make personal gains, which is why there are laws against it. Whether or not Trump will do this remains to be seen, but my guess is that it will happen.
Uhhhh....you mean like Hillary calling Trump supporters "deplorables"? Or how the left called Trump and his supporters racists, bigots, and my favorite from that racist and bigot Van Jones that there was a "whitelash." Yah. Right.
He'll be padding his pockets with far more serious money than the salary.
Because that is what you and your cronies would do, you have nothing of substance to pin your own virtues on him.
If there is one thing this election has taught us, everything the democrats accused the republicans of without proof, the Democrats were caught doing. Friggin scums they are!
Perhaps this will help make up for all the taxes Trump did not pay over the years.
In all YOUR years working, did YOU ever take a deduction on YOUR taxes?
I love the leftie whiners when the tax deductions he took were PROBABLY written by dems when they held the House of Representative for 40 straight years.
