You’ll Never Believe These 10 Highest Paid Heads of State

There are 193 countries on our fine planet, and each one is ruled by a form of President, Prime Minister, King, Emperor, or other lofty title.  We were curious what these heads of state make each year and decided to do a little research.

The top 10 list that we compiled does not include heads of state that receive a royal grant or purse (i.e. Queen of England, King of Saudi Arabia, King of Thailand, etc).  Our list is based off those political leaders who receive an annual salary for their position as the head of the government.

10.) United States of America – President – $400,000

9.) Ireland – President – $401,000

8.) Austria – President – $410,000

7.) Morocco – King – $488,604

6.) Switzerland – President – $507,000

5.) Hong Kong – Chief Executive – $568,400

4.) Cameroon – President – $620,976

3.) Iraq – President – $809,673

2.) Jordan – King – $847,457

1.) Singapore – President  – $1,442,000

Trump Surprises Student With Scholarship During State Of The Union

President Trump surprised a 4th grade student with an educational scholarship during his third annual State of the Union address.  Trump also called on Congress to pass his “Educational Freedom Scholarships and Opportunity Act”.  This bill would give 1 million young children the freedom to attend whatever school they chose.

The President invited Stephanie and Janiyah Davis from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to be he guests during the State of the Union and were seated in the House chamber.

During an emotional moment, the President presented a scholarship to Janiyah, who is one of 50,000 students in Pennsylvania that are wait listed due to the vetoed legislation by leftist liberal governor Tom Wolf.

It is unfortunate that Gov. Tom Wolf is against school choice, but we are lucky to have a President who cares about children and their education.

The Freedom Scholarships and Opportunity Act has more than 120 congressional co-sponsors and would increase the scholarship programs that states currently offer, as well as encouraging states to allow more freedom of choice when it comes to education.
