Cape May - The salary for the president of the United States is $400,000 a year. Now, why do candidates for this position spend millions of dollars for a job that pays less than half a million dollars? Sure, many of these candidates are millionaires already, but when they leave office, they are multi-millionaires because of the special interest groups. They tell the voters what they want to hear, they get elected and the greed and corruption continue. Trump is in this for his ego and the rest for the reasons I just listed, and we are left with empty wallets.
