Republican front-runner Donald Trump stated on Monday that he would forego a presidential salary if he gets elected in 2016.

“I won’t take even one dollar. I’m totally giving up my salary if I become president,” Trump said this through his Twitter account as he posted a short video on his question and answer session at Twitter’s New York headquarters.
This is not the first time that Trump has come forward to make personal sacrifices if he becomes president.
During the second Republican debate on Wednesday, Trump said if he were president, he’d allow wealthy Americans to opt out of receiving their Social Security benefits. He added he would opt out himself.

“I know people that, frankly, it has no impact on their life whatsoever. There are many people – I would almost say leave it up to them, but I would be willing to check it off, and say I will not get Social Security,” Trump added.
