You become President of the United States. A wealthy person attempts to bribe you to do what they tell you to do for one million US Dollars per year (paid weekly). Do you take this offer?
If not, how much would you counteroffer?
(If you aren't an American, assume for this hypothetical that you were suddenly granted citizenship and all other requirements are waived.)

That's a seriously low amount of money for this. Most Presidents will make much more than this out of office in just speaking fees and the normal grifting and graft that happens around them. You'd be endangering your ability to make so much more money in the future if that was your goal.
They know it's a low amount and are trying to see if their potential new puppet is dumb enough to accept it.
So, it's a decoy snail?
