on his name with foreign entities seeking the good graces of a new POTUS. An interesting idea.

How refreshing... all these considerations for someone who ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING vs the lifetime, silver-spoon legacy politicians.

It is truly a breath of fresh air that all this has to be considered based on what he's accomplished.

except HRC's was for a charity not a for profit business. And Trump promised to end pay for play.

See, if you ever even wanted some consideration of your point, you just lost all credibility.

Your OP may be right on point, but I just don't care anymore b/c it's obvious where you're coming from. And it sure as hell isn't an objective position.

My "point" is getting plenty of consideration by people who are not blinded by loyalty to a man.

Get ready.

We are in for years of these kinds of attacks using the worst kinds of pretzel logic you can imagine.

LOL! Yeah, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and spent his entire life gaming the system, refusing to pay his bills, not paying taxes, filing bankruptcy over and over. The only thing that moronic twat ever succeeded at is selling his name.

Yes, the Clinton's were so poor they needed charity to survive. After all, they had to fund Chelsea's lifestyle and wedding somehow. Am I right, or am I right?

It is cute when someone who has never built anything, never run a business, never sold anything, never added value to the world around him attempts to criticize someone else for being successful.

Enjoy your cubicle, hope you don't get any paper cuts or sciatica.

Not really.

As ThinkProgress pointed out, however, one of the biggest problems with the emoluments clause is enforcement and accountability. It's unclear how foolproof internal safeguards are or whether a rival business would risk suing a conglomerate bearing the name of the president.


And I don't even like them man. Didn't vote for him, and don't particularly like his new swamp. But if his "enemies" just keep throwing shite against the wall that has no chance of actually phasing him, you just further alienate your bubble. Same with calling everybody associated with him racists. The public tuned it out for the election, and 4 more years of it will only piss them off more.

So, because "Clinton did this," its OK for Trump to use his office to be to promote his businesses with foreigners?

Trump has always traded on his name. It is called branding.

These hotels around the world that have his name on it have been paying licensing agreements for years.

Obama instructed the DOJ to NOT follow the law. How backwards is that?

Were you screaming about that then?

I don't think it is exactly alike, but similar. Either way, the "she did it too" is a piss poor defense.
