Following a meeting with Republican leaders on Capitol Hill Thursday, Donald Trump said his first priorities will be border security, health care and job creation. (Nov. 10) AP Donald Trump is pledging no long vacations and no presidential salary during his time in the White House. "There's just so much to be done," Trump told CBS' 60 Minutes in an interview broadcast Sunday. "So I don't think we'll be very big on vacations, no." As for the president's $400,000-a-year pay, the New York businessman said: "No, I'm not going to take the salary. I'm not taking it." Republicans have regularly criticized President Obama for his fondness for playing golf and his family vacations in Hawaii.
