Тэр Truth Social-д ардчилсан намынхныг авлигач хэмээн буруутгаж, өөрийгөө цалин авдаггүй цорын ганц ерөнхийлөгч гэж мэдэгджээ.
Пүрэв гарагийн өглөө Трамп Truth Social-д нийтэлсэн мэдэгдлүүддээ Ардчилсан намынхан засаг захиргааг нь авлигад буруутгах замаар өөрсдийнхөө мужуудад гарсан авлигын асуудлаас анхаарлыг сарниулахыг оролдож байна гэжээ. Түүний мэдэгдэл завсрын сонгуулиар авлигын талаарх болгоомжлол сонгогчдын шийдвэрт нөлөөлсөн гэж үзсэнээс хойш хоёр долоо хоног хүрэхгүй хугацааны дараа гарсан юм. Сонгуулиар Ардчилсан нам Төлөөлөгчдийн танхим болон Сенатад олонх болсон.
Трамп эхний нийтлэлдээ Ерөнхийлөгчийн цалингаас татгалзсан, үүнийг хийсэн цорын ганц ерөнхийлөгч нь өөрөө гэж мэдэгдсэн байна. Гэвч холбооны хуулиар Ерөнхийлөгчийн үндсэн цалин 400 мянган ам.доллар бөгөөд өмнөх Ерөнхийлөгчид болох Херберт Гувер, Жон Ф. Кеннеди нар ч цалингийн орлогоо хандивлаж байжээ. Трамп мөн өөрийн засаг захиргааг авлигын хэрэгт буруутгаж буйг няцаасан байна.
Дөчин минутын дараа тэрээр хувийн татварын тайлангаа шалгуулах оролдлогын талаар бичиж, нягтлан бодогчид нь татвараа төлж, бүхнийг зөв хийснийг тогтоосон гэж мэдэгджээ. Уотергейтийн үеэс хойш Трамп сонгуулийн кампанит ажлын үеэр татварын тайлангаа олон нийтэд ил болгохоос татгалзсан томоохон намын цорын ганц Ерөнхийлөгчийн нэр дэвшигч байсан бөгөөд тайлангуудын зарим нь хожим хэвлэлд алдагдаж, Конгрессын Ардчилсан намын гишүүдэд хүрсэн байна.
Энэ долоо хоногт нийтэлсэн Forbes сэтгүүлийн шалгалтад Трамп гольфын талбайтай холбоотой татварын зохицуулалтын цоорхойг ашиглан хэдэн тэрбум ам.долларын татвар хэмнэж болзошгүй гэж дурджээ. Цагаан ордон тайлбар авахаар хандсан хэвлэл мэдээллийн хэрэгслийг Сангийн яам руу чиглүүлсэн байна.

President Donald Trump sought to cast Democrats as the party of corruption early Thursday, boasting in a series of Truth Social posts that he pays his taxes and refuses a White House salary.
His comments come less than two weeks after midterm voters signaled that concerns about corruption played a crucial role in their choices at the ballot box. Democrats flipped both the House and Senate, winning majorities in each.
The Trump administration has faced persistent corruption allegations, including claims that Trump is profiting from the presidency. His cryptocurrency ventures, use of the pardon power and acceptance of foreign gifts have all drawn scrutiny as his personal wealth has ballooned.

At 5:50 am, Trump wrote that the Democratic party is “doing everything in their power to get away from MASSIVE BLUE STATE CORRUPTION by saying, over and over again, that the Trump Administration is corrupt.” He added: “THE DEMOCRATS ARE CORRUPT AND EVIL, and I am the exact opposite!”
“I, perhaps foolishly because the Fake News refuses to write about it, including in my First Term, don’t even take a Salary, worth Millions of Dollars,” he wrote. “I am the only President to have done so!”
By federal law, the president earns a base salary of $400,000. Past presidents have also given away their earnings, including Herbert Hoover and John F. Kennedy.

Forty minutes later, Trump returned to Truth Social to defend himself against corruption allegations, this time by highlighting his tax record.
“Does anybody remember, in my First Term, the relentless effort by the anti-American Dumocrats to get my personal Tax Returns, something that has always been off limits for anyone other than Donald J. Trump,” he wrote. “Shockingly, they won this unprecedented right in the U.S. Supreme Court, and hired the best and toughest accountants in the Country to ‘get Trump.’”

“After one year of intense work, these brilliant Democrat inspired accountants FOUND NOTHING except that I paid my taxes and did everything right,” he added.
Trump was the only major party presidential candidate since the Watergate era to refuse to make his tax returns public on the campaign trail, although he frequently claimed he could not do so because they were under audit.

Some of his returns were later leaked to the press and obtained by Democrats in Congress.
A Forbes investigation published this week also alleged that Trump may use a tax loophole, linked to his golf courses, to save himself several billion dollars in taxes, as he has done in previous years. The White House referred The Independent to the Treasury Department for comment.
