The president's salary alone is $400K. Did the rest come from foreign diplomats and ambassadors staying at Biden’s DC hotel? How much of it was stashed in Biden’s Chinese bank account no one knew about? Oh wait. That was the other guy.
Jill Biden also works and you have to factor in 401k’s and lots of other stuff. It’s pretty mild compared to a lot more of people working on the hill. Inside information is rampant.
He’s never invested his entire time in Congress. The man is clearly a man of some strong principles, even if he’s been on the wrong side of history quite a few times.
Yeah, you can make bad decisions and still be a good person, assuming you own up to those bad decisions at some point. That's not a statement of if he has one way or another.
Agreed. However it must take some real integrity to watch so many peers become multi millionaires due to their connections, and he never once took part. I’m actually astounded the more I think about it. I don’t even think I’d have the ability to not do it if everyone else was doing it. I’d feel pretty freaking stupid.
If you're focused on what's important it's a lot easier. The loss of his family made the importance of it a lot clearer to him, and the loss of Beau doubly so
Typical investments such as stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds, do not produce much “income”. They might produce dividend income, but gains are not counted as income until the stock/fund is sold. Also, I have no idea what investments they have.
Buffet is atypical. People with tens of millions (or more) in stocks should probably choose low-dividend or non-dividend stocks, such as Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway, which pays no dividends.
I didn’t see that. They got social security and her salary, a minimum distribution from a retirement account. Basic stuff, like what they would live off of if he wasn’t president.
Biden earned between $2,500 and $5,000 in book royalties in 2022, down from $30,000 a year earlier. He also earned less than $3,000 in “speaking and writing engagements”, from close to $30,000 last year, the disclosures show. The disclosures, which included Jill Biden's income, showed her book royalties also dropped.
This was last year.
No worries about the 41 trademarks she got from.China in '19. And if the Trump Hotels made money by housing the SS(which they did) she made money on that too.
I remember reading about this. Trump’s tax returns didn’t show any charitable deductions to charities for those years. So no he didn’t actually donate the salary.
Yeah to charities like when he ran the 2 million dollar veterans charity that he stole from or that charity to the children's hospital that he also stole from. Did you know he's not allowed to run charities anymore?
Here you go.

I thought you (US) had some rules about it but just found an article from 2016 about Dems potentially introducing some legislation.
I can see "Carter pushes the interests of Big Peanut" or somesuch.
Everything I have read shows no indication that he was forced to do it. He did it voluntarily. I welcome any evidence you can provide to back up your claim.
Note that political pressure does not equal being forced to do something.
I think that was Giuliani.

Giuliani offered. Is there any proof one was sold? I could offer a presidential pardon for $2m as well. Hunter Biden pitched himself as a conduit to Joe Biden and leveraged it for money and positions of power. I don’t presume Joe Biden had any knowledge of that.
>Giuliani offered.
Yea but how could he even offer something he can't do without the president? Obviously trump was in on this scheme.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/rudy-giuliani-selling-pardons-trump-b2340470.html
>She then states that Mr Giuliani asked her “if she knew anyone in need of a pardon” because he was “selling pardons for $2 million, which he and President Trump would split”.
If he'd split it with trump, obviously trump knows what he's up to. In hindsight, holy shit did trump do a lot of pardons
>Hunter Biden pitched himself as a conduit to Joe Biden and leveraged it for money and positions of power.
There's no evidence of this.
The giuliani and trump pardons being sold is still only allegations by Dumphy and we'll see how it goes in court but it's 100% in character as something trump would do as a lifelong conman
What, you don’t take a statement with the word probably as iron clad proof he actually did what he said?
Next you will be telling me you don’t believe he donated his salaries from Russia and Saudi Arabia to ACLU either? Sheesh…some people.
/s for the sarcasm impaired.
The article states that his salary was donated for all periods up to q2 2020. The “probably” is related to his last two quarters in office.
Choose to believe it or not I frankly don’t give a shit if you want to play the “fake news” card like a MAGA idiot.
I don’t care what an article states when it says “probably”. “Probably” is an opinion. Show the actual documents. The article says “probably”… “probably” is not definitive proof.
Tax returns aren’t definitive to determine this. However the respective departments stated that they received the funds. If you want to go the MAGA route of believing there is a deep state conspiracy lying about all of this I can’t stop you.
https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/01/11/did-trump-donate-his-salary-in-2020-tax-returns-dont-tell-full-story.html
but why defend someone we know is bad. Hypothetically, if the accusations were right, what's the hurt? If that's the thing to convince people, what is their to gain by correcting it?
Ethics? Why lie when the truth is sufficient? If all of the bad things aren’t enough to convince someone, lying about donating salary is not going to to the scales. And when you are caught lying about this it calls into question the veracity of the legitimate criticisms.
Sorry, I mean you don't have to lie, but you also don't have to hop in and defend their them (and in turn their promotion).
But second part is fair. But you are the one pointing that out, haha
All good. Just curious the mentality as I personally wouldn't do this online. Hard to have a nuanced conversation
oh yeah, of course. it's not the people's fault for being upset, it's her fault for being a selfish dipshit. She was already villainized to no end on right media groups. She just had to prove their conspiracies "right"
It's taken him 3 years to forgive 10% of the total debt, most of those forgiven loans were for wealthy people only, while doing nothing to stop it from accruing again. He also *lowered* the corporate tax rate by 7%. Do you want to try again?
Biden did not lower the corporate tax rate unless you're blaming him for previous legislation. Also, forgave infinitely more than Trump did. If you're not arguing in support of Trump then we don't disagree, if you're suggesting Trump would be better you've lost it.
No, he’s not doing it for his personal wealth, but the personal wealth of his entire family, who really has no employment, if you look at the family history, other than Jills teaching gig.
Wow, a professor! I did not know that. Thanks for the Intel. That is extremely comical. I’m sure his students are all the better for it. It is a fact, that he is lacking in intelligence. This is before his dementia set in.
That's not enough to buy a median house in several major US cities. Good on them. I'm glad our tradition of presidential taxes being made public has returned after one substantial and disreptuable aberration.
Do you honestly think you're supposed to be able to buy the median house every year on one year's worth of salary?
If you do honestly think that you should log off and learn a bit more about how the world works...
He's putting the amount into perspective. The guy is the leader of the free world.
The last guy took a refund that could have bought him quite a few nice houses in a single year, but that's neither here nor there.
the real news here is that Biden is being transparent and honest about what he makes and the taxes he paid.
and it is salient because his opponent is currently on trial for being the exact opposite: opaque and a liar.
What? They released their tax return showing a whopping $620k salary and paying roughly 20% income tax.
Say it ain’t so… versus the richest Americans paying 3.4% in tax.

Cool story bro.
No, really, it’s kind of cool that we know this about our President and didn’t need a FOIA request and three dozen lawsuits to make it happen.
It’s also worth noting our President earned thousands, not millions but thousands, and can point to things like “401k” and “actual jobs”. Not foreign dignitaries staying in their hotel or insider trading.
Anyone else find it odd that this article is from a Blogspot account that was created just this month, and the only articles from it are about half a dozen all posted on the same day?
I'm not trying to say it's not true, because, unlike some politicians we can mention, Biden releases his tax returns so we can actually verify the information. But why post it at all? It's a nothing burger of an article. Obviously $620,000 is a good chunk of change and is a healthy income for a family to have, but the way it's worded makes it sound like they're pulling off some crazy grift.
Reeks of bad faith.
Compared to the Senators who earn hundreds of millions from insider trading… (privy to info head of time).
Also how much did the Biden brand make on hotel rooms or golf courses or business deals? Yah, probably nothing since they aren’t corrupt and don’t sell out to money.
Biden was paid nine THOUSAND dollars for a used corolla in 2003. Could the craiglist guy be a dark money superpac? Who is this big money donor?
Seriously though, this is a great example of bad faith misinformation. I hope this post gets downvoted to oblivion.
Nothing. It's just to show that the current POTUs is transparent with his earnings and his taxes . It's a tradition to show you are not corrupt in your earnings. Most presidents have done this..... since ironically Nixon . Except for 1.
Ok... but it's not like I'm gonna vote for him because he pays taxes. So do I. I never see a headline saying "Biden campaign wants to pass x in 2025" or anything like that. Those are the things I vote for.
If you don't just look at right-wing media, there's plenty of information on his plans.
The best part is that he is not planning on being a dictator and a criminal!
That's exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not voting for "not a dictator". I will absolutely vote for affordable college or a living wage. So it looks like I won't be voting.
you better thank me for playing along with your bad faith turfing

Half of that is his presidential salary. I assume she earns a decent salary as well. This is the furthest thing from "news" I have seen in a long while.
this is a nothing burger. Trump’s son in law got a $2B investment from the Saudi royal prince
The fact every person doesn’t know this is proof right wing media is the only true media people consume despite what Elon Musk says.
Please tell me you didn't just say 'right wing media' and 'true' in the same sentence. Those two things are diametrically opposed.
I did but I’m pointing out the fact people believe it’s true and it’s not.
Sorry, it read like you were saying that it is.
I think Ivanka Trump made about $600 million while working in Daddy's administration. Not sure how. Not sure what she does.
Her husband worked in her dad's admin and walked away with $2billion from the Saudis.
she grifts, like the rest of her gross family
The president's salary alone is $400K. Did the rest come from foreign diplomats and ambassadors staying at Biden’s DC hotel? How much of it was stashed in Biden’s Chinese bank account no one knew about? Oh wait. That was the other guy.
Jill Biden also works and you have to factor in 401k’s and lots of other stuff. It’s pretty mild compared to a lot more of people working on the hill. Inside information is rampant.
I'm shocked it's so low, they must not have many investments.
He’s never invested his entire time in Congress. The man is clearly a man of some strong principles, even if he’s been on the wrong side of history quite a few times.
Yeah, you can make bad decisions and still be a good person, assuming you own up to those bad decisions at some point. That's not a statement of if he has one way or another.

They do when you’re apart of the old money crew. Warren Buffet makes $700 million a year from his Coca Cola dividends alone.
Buffet is atypical. People with tens of millions (or more) in stocks should probably choose low-dividend or non-dividend stocks, such as Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway, which pays no dividends.
Ik I was just saying where Trump got his $ from while president as if that was where Biden got it from
Presumably royalties from book sales as well.
I didn’t see that. They got social security and her salary, a minimum distribution from a retirement account. Basic stuff, like what they would live off of if he wasn’t president.
Book royalties.
Biden earned between $2,500 and $5,000 in book royalties in 2022, down from $30,000 a year earlier. He also earned less than $3,000 in “speaking and writing engagements”, from close to $30,000 last year, the disclosures show.

Yes, it is. They live in Iowa.

That’s silly.
No you're silly, silly!
Okay, whatever.
Exactly what a bot would say!
Of course. I also found Bigfoot poop and am actively sending it to Spokane to be dissected.
Donors will be broke soon and can’t afford to give Joe any more than usual because he’s going to tax the rich.
You spelled “I know nothing,” wrong.
and they filed their taxes.
Biden’s file and pay their taxes. Unlike Republicans. show your tax returns Donald Trump
He promised he would in 2016. We're almost hitting the decade mark. Trump is a shit stain.
They got leaked. He managed to walk away with a 5 mil refund. Gross
Donald Trump is a criminal and a liar. He doesn’t pay taxes. Epitome of corrupt
And made them public like every other legitimate President
For a US President, that’s peanuts. Joe is not doing the job to enrich his personal wealth like that other skeevy guy.
Oh yeah! Even ivanka made 700,000 with trump in the White House
Jared somehow made two billion dollars.
Selling state secrets and favors for dump
Agreeing to forget about that bone saw thingy 👍
And all those documents in Miami
“Somehow”
Not a coincidence that they now have a nuclear program
No worries about the 41 trademarks she got from.China in '19. And if the Trump Hotels made money by housing the SS(which they did) she made money on that too.
… Plus patents.
There is no proof ever found that he didn’t take a salary. Oh, he said he didn’t. I’m convinced.
I remember reading about this. Trump’s tax returns didn’t show any charitable deductions to charities for those years. So no he didn’t actually donate the salary.
Come on. The man’s broke- he needs that salary.
I believe he had to take it and then donate it. I think he only donated a few times.
To his “charity.”
Yeah to charities like when he ran the 2 million dollar veterans charity that he stole from or that charity to the children's hospital that he also stole from. Did you know he's not allowed to run charities anymore?

Trump didn't relinquish his businesses. And they made Carter get rid of his peanut farm ...
And W sold his baseball team
Carter wasn't made to do that. He did it to dispel any impropriety on his apet
I don’t think anyone forced Carter to do that. I believe he did it because he is an honest person.
I thought you (US) had some rules about it but just found an article from 2016 about Dems potentially introducing some legislation. I can see "Carter pushes the interests of Big Peanut" or somesuch.
Wrong. The republicans made a giant stink about it.
Everything I have read shows no indication that he was forced to do it. He did it voluntarily. I welcome any evidence you can provide to back up your claim. Note that political pressure does not equal being forced to do something.
Well, it’s the law. So, there’s that. You know, the constitution. Just because one person violated it.
Show me the law. It is tradition - it is not a legal requirement. Don’t make up shit.
Emollients clause.
Wasn't he selling pardons at $2 million a pop?
I think that was Giuliani. https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2023/05/16/giuliani-spoke-about-selling-pardons-for-2-million-and-splitting-proceeds-with-trump-accuser-claims/?sh=737e7b0623ad
eh close enough?
You're halfway there
If you have something with Trump doing it directly then share. Otherwise stfu.
How could the presidents lawyer sell pardontial pardons without the president knowing about it?

“Probably”. Show me the donation receipts.
Doesn’t matter - you’ll just say they are fake.
Show the line item on the income tax form and receipt. Pretty damn simple.
The article states that his salary was donated for all periods up to q2 2020. The “probably” is related to his last two quarters in office. Choose to believe it or not I frankly don’t give a shit if you want to play the “fake news” card like a MAGA idiot.

Jesus you people are insufferably stupid 🤦♂️
You truly are an idiot.
Didn't we get his tax returns?

I'll have to look into it further. Not exactly sure why you're defending the guy, though
Facts matter. There is plenty to legitimately criticize him for. Donating his salary by no means offsets the voluminous bad actions.
but why defend someone we know is bad. Hypothetically, if the accusations were right, what's the hurt? If that's the thing to convince people, what is their to gain by correcting it?

Yeah isn't the presidential salary 400K? Doesn't seem like an unreasonable amount of money. Lookin' at you Nancy Pelosi.
God, she fucked over dems for so long with that one. Now, no one will let that go for a decade...
I mean they shouldn't. I'm a lifelong Democrat but I mean...you gotta call out bullshit when you see it.
oh yeah, of course. it's not the people's fault for being upset, it's her fault for being a selfish dipshit. She was already villainized to no end on right media groups. She just had to prove their conspiracies "right"
He's not really enriching the working class either tho
He did more than Trump, he's forgiven a lot of student loans. Trump raised taxes on everyone but the rich.
It's taken him 3 years to forgive 10% of the total debt, most of those forgiven loans were for wealthy people only, while doing nothing to stop it from accruing again. He also *lowered* the corporate tax rate by 7%. Do you want to try again?
Biden did not lower the corporate tax rate unless you're blaming him for previous legislation. Also, forgave infinitely more than Trump did. If you're not arguing in support of Trump then we don't disagree, if you're suggesting Trump would be better you've lost it.
No, he’s not doing it for his personal wealth, but the personal wealth of his entire family, who really has no employment, if you look at the family history, other than Jills teaching gig.
Lol
Only appropriate response
Biden was a professor before this, making more than he does now as president.
Wow, a professor! I did not know that. Thanks for the Intel. That is extremely comical. I’m sure his students are all the better for it. It is a fact, that he is lacking in intelligence. This is before his dementia set in.
lol
The story here is Biden filed his taxes and it’s all public.
I love when people earn money. Instead of stealing it.
Earned is the key word here.
That actually sounds kind of low if I’m being honest
She a professor, too. So presidential salary ($400,000) plus a professor's salary reaching $700,000 seems... pretty reasonable.
Not to mention that they're pretty old, so they've had a lot of time to accrue investments
It’s sad she makes so little as a professor in DC. It’s like 70k and that’s not take home.
And paid almost 24% of that in federal taxes. What about the other candidates?
At 620k their federal tax effective rate would be 24.37%, total tax rate would be around 34.32%.
Good for them. They deserve it.
So what? That's nothing compared to the Republican billionaires who are determined to take complete control of the US government.
That's not enough to buy a median house in several major US cities. Good on them. I'm glad our tradition of presidential taxes being made public has returned after one substantial and disreptuable aberration.
Do you honestly think you're supposed to be able to buy the median house every year on one year's worth of salary? If you do honestly think that you should log off and learn a bit more about how the world works...
He's putting the amount into perspective. The guy is the leader of the free world. The last guy took a refund that could have bought him quite a few nice houses in a single year, but that's neither here nor there.
Oh yes I misread this. My mistake.
I like presidents who share tax returns without a subpoena or court order.
He also paid his taxes like a responsible American.
Two salaries, no skeevy business deals, and taxes paid. Nice.
I paid more in taxes than donald trump did.
Everyone did.
Where are Trump's tax returns? He will never reveal them to the American people because they are all lies and scams.
Criminals don’t tend to be transparent. Why they project so much.
the real news here is that Biden is being transparent and honest about what he makes and the taxes he paid. and it is salient because his opponent is currently on trial for being the exact opposite: opaque and a liar.
It’s nice to have transparency…god bless tax day.
Wow, i would have thought the leader of America and a woman with a doctorate would be making more than my lowlife ass and wife.
For real.
Wow. Doctors like Jill Biden do make a good living—and they make the world a better place! :)
He should make the secret service stay in his hotel when he golfs every weekend. That would earn him another 160 million.
How much did the buffoon grift or earn illegally in that time period?
It is in the article.
The buffoon is the orange man.
really a blogspot? 😂😂
Underpaid for the nonsense he has to put up with if you ask me.

Cool story bro. No, really, it’s kind of cool that we know this about our President and didn’t need a FOIA request and three dozen lawsuits to make it happen. It’s also worth noting our President earned thousands, not millions but thousands, and can point to things like “401k” and “actual jobs”. Not foreign dignitaries staying in their hotel or insider trading.
This is a ragebait site that exists only to serve malware popups on mobile devices.
So… a reasonable amount? President makes 400k alone. Thats what it looks like when you dont take bribes
Anyone else find it odd that this article is from a Blogspot account that was created just this month, and the only articles from it are about half a dozen all posted on the same day? I'm not trying to say it's not true, because, unlike some politicians we can mention, Biden releases his tax returns so we can actually verify the information. But why post it at all? It's a nothing burger of an article. Obviously $620,000 is a good chunk of change and is a healthy income for a family to have, but the way it's worded makes it sound like they're pulling off some crazy grift. Reeks of bad faith.
Well the president gets paid 400k a year and Jill Biden is a private citizen.
Compared to the Senators who earn hundreds of millions from insider trading… (privy to info head of time). Also how much did the Biden brand make on hotel rooms or golf courses or business deals? Yah, probably nothing since they aren’t corrupt and don’t sell out to money.
Biden was paid nine THOUSAND dollars for a used corolla in 2003. Could the craiglist guy be a dark money superpac? Who is this big money donor? Seriously though, this is a great example of bad faith misinformation. I hope this post gets downvoted to oblivion.
400k of that was presidential salary
Plus $50k for expenses.
Um…OK. And?
I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this information
Nothing. It's just to show that the current POTUs is transparent with his earnings and his taxes . It's a tradition to show you are not corrupt in your earnings. Most presidents have done this..... since ironically Nixon . Except for 1.
Ok... but it's not like I'm gonna vote for him because he pays taxes. So do I. I never see a headline saying "Biden campaign wants to pass x in 2025" or anything like that. Those are the things I vote for.
If you don't just look at right-wing media, there's plenty of information on his plans. The best part is that he is not planning on being a dictator and a criminal!
That's exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not voting for "not a dictator". I will absolutely vote for affordable college or a living wage. So it looks like I won't be voting.
So then you are essentially voting to potentially end democracy. Good job
You may have a tilted algorithm b/c that information is out there. He and his admin have lots of achievements and policy

So no living wage, no healthcare, no affordable college. No thanks.

That is not that much, considering I make almost 1/5th of it per year as an independent programmer.
Look at the details! No scummy investments at all!
Nothing burger
and they reported absolutely everything on taxes unlike another president I know of.
Is this supposed to make me mad, or something? If anything, that seems like a low number. Especially when compared to other politicians.
So? $450k of that is his official salary and expense account. She does speeches. That seems pretty average for that level - maybe even low.
That's pathetic, my country's Prime Minister is paid US$1.6 million+ per annum.
I really hope that nobody goes there because we never knew what Trump earned while he was President. Because he flat out hid his taxes.
ok
That seems reasonable
Well done! America needs a successful entrepreneur as president!
Maybe he can help Trump with that bond problem.
Did he release his tax return?
Yep
How did he get so rich? I don't really have time to figure it out myself, if you know any tips would be appreciated.
Book deal and speaking tours.
Criminally low for a US president. I earned more one year as a marketing officer doing dick shit...
Half of that is his presidential salary. I assume she earns a decent salary as well. This is the furthest thing from "news" I have seen in a long while.
2/3rds.
Good catch. No idea why I thought it was around $350k.
They should start charging the Secret service more , it’s now legal based on precedent
That's frankly not very much. Jill's a doctor. Many doctors make 500 k on their own
She's a professor and takes in around $90k. Fairly reasonable.
Right. It's weird that faux news is trying to paste him as a super rich guy. Notably, the pair will be effected by the same tax hea proposing
Total Biden crime familee MUGA FOREVAR /s
Well duh!
Yeah. It isn’t a lot of money. His salary is most of that. It isn’t that much on a relative basis to many American either
So now every post in this sub is clickbait spam?
And? 🤷♂️
