In a shocking move, billionaire businessman and US President-elect Donald Trump has said he will not take the $400,000 (N130 million) a year presidential salary. During a pre-taped interview with CBS News' 60 Minutes that aired on Sunday night, President-elect Donald Trump promised he wouldn't take the presidential salary, saying it wasn't "a big deal" for him. This isn't the first time Trump had said he would forgo the $400,000-a-year presidential salary — it was a frequent promise he made during his campaign, as well.

But also, “it was respect for the office, it was respect for the president”—a president, it must be said, whose legitimacy Trump attempted to undermine for years by suggesting Obama was not born in the US, even after the president had produced his birth certificate from Hawaii. “Again, I never met him before, but we had a very good chemistry going,” Trump said, reporting that there was, from his

For any groom, picking a best man is a pretty big deal. After all, he's the one who'll be guarding the rings, making a heartfelt toast, planning the bachelor party, among other important tasks. But have you ever stopped to think where this tradition came from in the first place? Why is he called a "best man" anyway? Well, centuries ago, men had to resort to stealing the bride-to-be from her family if they disapproved of him. And that's where the best man came in, according to Mental Floss . He would basically act as the groom's backup in the event that one of the bride's loved ones tried to take her back from the groom (or the unwilling bride tried to run away).

The historic 2016 presidential election keeps on producing first-ever landmarks, and that includes the next first lady of United States, Melania Trump. So what kind of FLOTUS will she be? According to first-lady historians, here's a hint: Think Jackie Kennedy, not Eleanor Roosevelt, Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama.

But Trump was hardly on the campaign trail so what's to stop her from doing the unexpected as first lady?

For the week or so following the bombshell announcement by FBI director James Comey regarding Hillary Clinton's email server, Trump handled himself with a greater level of sustained discipline than he exhibited during any other period in the race.

And though some states do have restrictions on what parents can name their children for certain practical reasons, the US Constitution affords parents a great deal of autonomy in raising their kids.
