Given all this, I think $50,000 a year would be more than enough compensation. Trump is reportedly accepting $1 per year. Chump change and propaganda, but how would you know if he never publishes his tax returns? Only a fool believes what he says, I'll wait for actual behavior.

Seriously, what kinds of candidates could you attract with such a policy? Wouldn't it be only the rich folk who can afford to take a pay-free sabbatical? ... They are the ones in charge of setting the minimum wage, so I am pretty confident that they wouldn't starve. Actually I believe that politicians pay should be approved by the people they represent, on the ballot.
... but between your policy of underpaying, and Percy's policy that they shouldn't write books or do speaking tours after being president, just who other than already rich folks could afford to be president? Perhaps the politicians should be audited annually to show that their earning are honest and not graft or corruption. That is the concern, yes?

This leaves Trump with 2 choices - ... So what do we think his Plan B is ? Try to get the FBI to bald faced lie ? Dangerous, and with insufficient actual evidence and lots of people having to be in on it (risking imprisonment for Trump), not a likely outcome. Brush the result under the rug and hope people will forget about it ? Possibly, particularly if he can get it strung out for 3 years ? Or my personal choice, use a failure to dig up any evidence to attack the FBI for bias, and possibly use it to force the replacement of top brass he doesn't like. Plan C -- to lie about the results and suppress the actual results.
I'm quite interested in Trump's announcement that he's going to launch an investigation into mass voter fraud. I would hope that it opens the door to investigate election fraud. If they are checking the registrations for voters with multiple registrations and dead people, doesn't it also open the door to purged registrations and denied registrations?

I would be surprised if any investigation occurs. Facts are inconvenient to a salesman. Remember he's a developer that turn politician, the sale is all that counts. He is also a megalomaniac that can't stand evidence that shows he is an incompetent fatuous idiot with orange hair.

Nevertheless his interest in the numbers may be predominantly in the fact that the media misrepresented them, in their neverending quest to diminish his Presidency. Except that they haven't. Trump even showed a picture during a tour of the Whitehouse that showed a panorama of his crowd with obviousl gaps, especially at the rear, while Obama's crowd when all the way to the Washington Monument, and said, bald face, that his picture showed a bigger crowd. What other president would even hang a picture of the crowd? What other president ever complained about his crowd size? He is obsessive\compulsive and cares more about his personal image than he does the country.

He didn't complain about his crowd size. He complained about how the media misrepresented it. And yet it has been verified with time dated pictures that the media were correct. Trump is the one misrepresenting things, that is who he is: he puffs himself up and brags about stuff (magazine covers for instance) that are unimportant to anyone else.
We conservatives have watched the media lie and manipulate in favor of the Left and against the Right for years. Oh yes they do. the lies have even become more blatant through the Trump candidacy. Main stream media is all about viewer numbers regardless of facts. We Liberals have watched the media lie and manipulate in favor of the Right against the Left for years. Did you follow the news about Bernie? How about the #NoDAPL protests? Remember the Occupy Movement? Who owns the media, Faith? Trump makes himself a target by attacking the media and then complaining that they set the record straight. He does it because that keeps him IN the news so that he can manipulate the story told to you, the sheep followers. He is obsessed with being in the spotlight.

Here are a few of the Democrats; *Someone with an open fondness for a communist dictator like Fidel Castro (Bernie Sanders) wouldn't have gotten anywhere near a Democrat presidential nomination in the 60's. And yet social democrat FDR was reelected twice because he was so popular among working people. Bernie Saunders positions were like FDR's, and not like Castro's - he did not advocate a "Castro Model" -- that is all in your head.
*There was no EPA in the 60's, no global warming / climate change movement. *There was no attempt to involve the government with health care in the 60's. And those are good things. Too bad the republicans hindered health care and blocked universal health care like most civilized countries have -- it costs less and it improves the economy because healthy people work better than unhealthy people.
*There were no filthy mouth Hollywood celebrities like Madonna spouting in front of an open mike without condemnation from the 60's Democrats. I guess you never went to any anti-war protests. They were there.
*60's Democrats weren't pushing for special rights for gays, trannies, foreigners from enemy nations, abortion seekers, to near the extent they do today. And it is a good thing to think that rights should be equally shared, not kept for privileged white straight people.
*A 60's Democrat said "ask NOT what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". No current Democrat is going to get near that. Except Bernie. But I agree that the DNC has been horrid in abandoning the working people in favor of corporatist pandering and trying to become republican-lite and abandoning Kennedy's legacy in favor of neo-lib Clintonism.
Republican examples? What's different about you since the 60's? I'm about the same - my political views haven't changed. By the way, the Constitution hasn't changed either. In the 60's my Grandfather was chairman of the Republican Party in Vermont, and it was all about fiscal responsibility and individual rights. Eisenhower instigated the inter-state highways and massive infrastructure construction, and his tax system taxed the highest bracket at 90% ... Now the GOP runs up the highest debts, leaving fiscal responsibility to the democrats, they are more concerned about religious issues than individual rights, they have done nothing for infrastructure repair to say nothing about any new construction, and they give away taxes to pander to the rich instead of the hard working individual that used to be the core republican base.

You gotta admit that on the upside, the Trump Presidency has so far provided decades worth of material to keep comedians employed. ... And he has united Americans in a way not seen since the anti-war protests of the 60's, and united them with people in other nations. The women's march would not have occurred without him. #ThankYouTrump* * - fun fact: this hashtag was started by Trump supporters and now it has gone viral in a way they didn't anticipate ... by our ability to understand Rebel☮American☆Zen☯Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

So there may be uniting of the left and uniting of the right, but no uniting of the two. We are being driven into two separate nations to a level I don't believe has been seen since the 1860's. Let's hope and pray it doesn't go much farther... Trump may be the catalyst for this to change. Certainly the liberal progressive side has an opportunity to bring less radical conservatives together with progressives to work on common ground issues perhaps using immigration reform as a basis.

The Courts and lawyers seem to be doing what they can, but it's firefighting and not a concerted opposition. There are protests, but no organised voice of opposition and sense. Trump is working hard to bring all these people together to make America Greater ... by our ability to understand Rebel☮American☆Zen☯Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.
