簡單回答:不。
楊的確提議給總統加薪至每年$4M,*前提是*離職後不得收演講費或董事會成員報酬入私囊。
“we should raise the president’s salary from the current $400,000 to $4 million. However, anyone who served in the office would be barred from accepting speaking fees or lucrative board positions for personal gain after leaving office.”

目的是消除總統做決定時為了將來的個人利益而“照顧”潛在關係戶的動機。
同時為了避嫌,楊特地聲明,假如他當選不會拿所提議的薪水。高薪從下一任開始。
“And I’ll say, this raise can go into effect for the president after me. I do not give a shit how much I get paid”

當然,這個提議看似很好,但是可能違反了憲法第一修正案。
離職總統的pension由國會定,和當年總統內閣成員的工資一樣。今年是$210,700。
前總統一次演講費可以高達1/4M
$4M是終身的嗎?不是。在職領的是薪水(salary)。美國總統離職後拿的是pension. 楊的方案沒有提pension。
特朗普,如果能理解“避嫌”這個詞的含義的百分之一,這個國家也不會分裂到這個程度。
To 唐西:
That’s a ten-fold increase from the current salary of $400,000,
