A largely symbolic decision, but bigly effective signal to the Amity Shlaes' 'Forgotten Man.'

#2 Clintons got a lot richer than their salaries ever would have made them. Same for all politicians, AFAICT.

#3 Irrelevant. He needs to be a good president not a propaganda queen.

#4 True. And as Besoeker said, it's symbolic. But it will sorta negate the "rich bastid collecting a $400K/year salary he doesn't need" trash talk that would eventually crop up.

The 'good president' part is something we'll have to wait for, 'kay?

#5 I guess a lot of professional politicians had a rather unpleasant moment when hearing this.

#6 ...BTW, CBS got in their first shot - they had that clip where Trump says 'stop it' last Friday, but somehow after a weekend of instigated anti-Trump violence, they didn't see fit to release it until Sunday night.

Almost as if they wanted the President-elect to seem as if he didn't care.

#7 A likely violation of the federal minimum wage law, but whatever.
