简单回答:不。
杨的确提议给总统加薪至每年$4M,*前提是*离职后不得收演讲费或董事会成员报酬入私囊。
“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.”

目的是消除总统做决定时为了将来的个人利益而“照顾”潜在关系户的动机。
同时为了避嫌,杨特地声明,假如他当选不会拿所提议的薪水。高薪从下一任开始。
“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”

当然,这个提议看似很好,但是可能违反了宪法第一修正案。
离职总统的pension由国会定,和当年总统内阁成员的工资一样。今年是$210,700。
前总统一次演讲费可以高达1/4M
$4M是终身的吗?不是。在职领的是薪水(salary)。美国总统离职后拿的是pension. 杨的方案没有提pension。
特朗普,如果能理解“避嫌”这个词的含义的百分之一,这个国家也不会分裂到这个程度。
To 唐西:
That’s a ten-fold increase from the current salary of $400,000,
