If Trump gave back his salary for 5,000 years...? [View all]

At $400,000 dollars per year, he makes $1 million dollars every 2 1/2 years. He makes $2 million dollars every 5 years.

He made $2 billion dollars off the Presidency last year.

Since there are 1,000 millions in a billion, it would take him 200 years in salary to give back $1 billion dollars. It would take him 400 years in his salary to equal the $2 billion dollars he grifted off the Presidency just last year.

Correct me if my math is wrong?

A $400,000 dollar salary is pocket change to this crook.

(on edit) I think my math is wrong?

But when I divide 2 billion by 400,000, I get 5,000 years. Regardless, it is a lot of money being stolen from the people.
