If not, how much would you counteroffer?

I cost more than $1m . It would need to be closer to $5Mif not $10m for me to sell out and do as they expect. being president pulls a $400k salary as it is...that is over 4 times what i make already so if someone want s to buy my presidency, it is going to be as close ot fuck you money as I can get

If the answer is no you probably won't make it in high level politics.
