Trump's Emoluments Mess

Yeah, that line Trump donating his salary is a big deal is lame, first off, he easily makes that in his weekend golf junkets to Florida, the taxpayer is picking up the check for his staff and Secret Service detail following him, plus we all know Trump's history with charities not to mention he most likely declares it all as a loss on his taxes

Trump supporters are drunk on Orange Kool-Aid
 
But in the end, nothing is ever going to come of it, bottom line, to prove such you have to have financial records, and Trump knows full well that any request for financial data is going to be tied up in the Courts for years, and even as we are seeing now with the lawsuits he is losing, they are eventually going to go to the SCOTUS, and he didn't put Brett there cause he thought he would make a good Justice

Sad, but that is the reality, and in the meantime Trump is doing his best to make sure he profits as much as he can off of being President

Trump has lost every court case and it will be done sooner than that. If Trump believed that, he would not fight like a caged animal.
The phony Emoluments clause is in the phony document the phony Constitution.
 
Your not going to try to tell us that because George was a farmer at the same time he was President that makes him guilty of using the office of the President to make money are you?

No, he was not profiting off the office and not doing it with foreigners. Sure is a different case,isn't it?

He donates it to get a tax break. He would never simply refuse it. That is not how that greedy shit works.
 
Presidents since Johnson have put businesses in a blind trust. They remove themselves from the business and dedicated their time to the job. Some sold them.
Trump ignored that. Running a business it too time-consuming for a president and creates a visual discord between doing government and personal business. Trump does not care. He does what he wants.

We must peaceably and legally get rid of him and then address the policies and lack of regulations and laws that led up to this. If we don't give him the boot, Trump will arrest the brave patriots that spoke out and blew the whistle on him and we will indeed become a fascist state. The POS is using the Justice Department for his personal vendetta. Don't you see how the brown shirts in Congress brazenly broke the law on his behalf by storming the SCIF? This is the just the beginning.
 
That’s not what the Emoluments Clause says. It refers to FOREIGN influence.

[edit] I stand corrected. Article II section 1 has other restrictions

So you get it. The hoteliers in Washington have lost business because foreign countries are staying at Trump's hotel. The foreigners are certain to mention what a fine hotel he has and that they are staying there. There are incidents of countries booking a bunch of rooms and not showing up. What a clear attempt at bribery that is. It stinks.
 
Then why is he LOSING MONEY AS POTUS, UNLIKE THE OBAMAS and CLINTONS, WHO BECAME MILLIONAIRES IN THE WHITE HOUSE?

Do you believe that? Wow. I did not think anyone believed that when Trump said it.
The Obamas made money off their books.
Trump is the criminal.

Article II Section 1

“The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.”
 
Article II Section 1

“The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.”

And he hasn't. Conducting a business is not an emolument.

Profiting from your office is. Every trip to Mar-a-Lago is money in his pocket FROM THE GOVERNMENT and TAXPAYER. Every foreign guest staying there or at Trump Tower is money in his pocket from FOREIGN INTERESTS. He finally listened to his advisors and dodged the bullet at Doral.


"ProPublica reports, in partnership with WNYC Studios, that government agencies have spent at least $386,000 at Trump properties since the inauguration, income that wouldn’t have accrued to the Trump Organization were it not for the fact that Donald Trump is president. And that tally is an undercount, ProPublica says, because the government is fighting requests for details on government spending at Trump properties. Another ProPublica investigation found that since Trump declared his candidacy in 2015, his properties received $13.5 million from his campaign and at least another $2.6 million from Republican Party entities and federal agencies. Even more problematic are the foreign governments and representatives of domestic organizations seeking favor from the White House who patronize Trump properties — particularly the Trump International Hotel a few blocks down Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House. A Trump business leases the site from the federal government, which means by default, Trump is his own landlord."

Too bad you're too fucking stupid to recognize that.

Do you really not understand it? Even now, you cannot grasp that foreigners staying at Trump's hotels and making it clear to Trump that they paid his hotel rates, stinks of bribery?? Trump was making money off the rooms. The foreigners stayed at his rooms to curry favor from Trump. I doubt any past presidents were informed so often about the hotel arrangements of foreign dignitaries and representatives.
