At a press gaggle on Wednesday, curious reporters asked the president why he kept his cash in such a precarious place.
“Do you carry cash in your back pocket？” a reporter asked.
“I do! I do!” he responded, pulling out a “large wad of cash” from his back right pants pocket, according to Pool report
Trump explained that he hadn't used the cash “in a long time,” but likes to carry “a little something” for tipping hotel staff.
“I do like leaving tips to the hotel. I like to carry a little something. I like to give tips to the hotel. I'm telling you, maybe a president's not supposed to do it, but I like to leave a tip for the hotel.”
He also said he prefers not to carry a wallet at all.
