I don't have a problem with him making money. In fact I'm in favor of tax cuts as long as loop holes are eliminated.
What I'm saying here is that Trump refusing to take a salary is smoke and mirrors. It sounds like a generous thing to do, but he's doing it because he knows he's going to use his position to make even more money.
Sure, 1% or 2% is ONLY tens of millions (a year). but that's far, far more than the $400,000 he makes a year as president. I'm simply asking for some perspective here.
