Washington \u2013 On Tuesday, the White House released the full salary list of President Donald Trump\u2019s staff. The document, submitted annually to the U.S. Congress, includes more than 400 individuals working in the president\u2019s direct circle \u2013 from press secretary Karoline Leavitt to prominent advisors like Stephen Miller and Peter Navarro. The list not only shows how much each individual earns but also outlines how Trump\u2019s power apparatus is composed in his second term.\nAt the top of the salary pyramid is advisor Jacalynne Klopp with an annual income of $225,700. Klopp already held a senior position at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during Trump\u2019s first term \u2013 an indication of how many familiar faces from his earlier presidency have returned. In second place is Edgar Mkrtchian, currently deputy associate counsel to the White House, with a salary of $203,645. He worked in the International Trade Administration in 2017 \u2013 another veteran of the first Trump administration.
An der Spitze der Gehaltspyramide steht Beraterin Jacalynne Klopp mit einem Jahreseinkommen von 225.700 Dollar. Klopp war bereits w\u00e4hrend Trumps erster Amtszeit in einer F\u00fchrungsposition bei der Einwanderungs- und Zollbeh\u00f6rde ICE t\u00e4tig \u2013 ein Indiz daf\u00fcr, wie viele bekannte Gesichter aus Trumps fr\u00fcherer Pr\u00e4sidentschaft zur\u00fcckgekehrt sind. Auf Platz zwei folgt Edgar Mkrtchian, derzeit stellvertretender Rechtsberater des Wei\u00dfen Hauses, mit einem Gehalt von 203.645 Dollar. Er war 2017 in der International Trade Administration aktiv \u2013 ebenfalls ein Veteran der ersten Trump-Regierung.
Particularly striking: 33 staffers each receive exactly $195,200 annually, including key figures such as chief of staff Susie Wiles, Trump\u2019s longtime spokesman Stephen Miller, press secretary Karoline Leavitt, border czar Tom Homan, and Peter Navarro, who once again serves as senior counselor for trade and manufacturing policy. That amount traditionally marks the maximum salary for political appointees in the White House, excluding special bonuses. The speechwriting team is also represented: five staff members earn between $92,500 and $121,500 per year. At the lower end of the pay scale are more than 100 employees with salaries between $59,000 and $80,000 \u2013 including assistants, technical staff, and administrative personnel who maintain day-to-day operations in the West Wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
