Happened to catch Mitt Romney’s speech and it’s dead on, as compared to the BS coming out of Trumps mouth; just unreal he can with a straight face tell America the pull out in Syria is a win win for everyone. Then they announce G7 is at Doral, nothing wrong there, let’s make Trump’s bank account great again, corruption in plain sight. This nut is a national security risk and I believe some in the GOP are starting to see that.

Why, because the Emoluments Clause absolutely prohibits it, but it’s a classic Trump family money grab, he couldn’t care less about the constitution.

Isn’t it an outdated document written by old white racists?

he can get around that by doing it at cost, so he's not profiting. but the optics are bad.
that clause doesn’t mean much anymore, as the white house is now a pathway to almost billionaire status, they all profit immensely after they’re out.
but it’s still stupid.

i hear you. but it gives the tin foil hat crowd more ammo.
hey, a couple weeks
back, on a couple
of occasions, you had
posted a meme or a gif or whatever the hell you call those things, something to respond to people
you thought we’re crazy. it was something that was hysterical, and i can’t find it or remember what it was. any idea what i’m referring to? maybe a scene from a movie?

So you can pick which parts of the constitution you think you should abide by, interesting interpretation but wrong. No way he doesn’t profit now or for future, you are kidding yourself, but it’s par for the course.

Even if he was doing it at cost, he still benefits as he is able to spread his fixed costs over a larger base, etc. So that excuse doesn't work.
An bc rich after your are Pres. is different that using the office to enrich yourself and family. |
