Let's rewrite the Emoluments Clause


Apr 18, 2019, 9:32 AM

The founders didn't know what they were doing when they put it in Article 8 of the constitution, therefore we should just go ahead and make it legal for our presidents to handsomely profit at our expense. They wouldn't ever sell us out now, right, why would they do that?

After all, that's part of the deal when you win the election, right? You get to make your own rules.

NATO members should visit, bring lots of cash to spend in...

Trump's hotels so he'll get off their butts about paying their fair share for their defense. Canada, Mexico and the EU should do the same. Oh, and China too but not Russia, Trump is already in Putin's pocket, right?

What happened to reporting on whether or not Trump kept his commitment to donate all the profits from foreign govs' spending in his hotels to the US Gov? How about you investigating that and keep us updated so if Trump really breaks the law he won't get away with it?

Fair question.

Trump had those hotels and properties when he was elected. The voters didn't care then and it was so highlighted by Clinton, the DNC and MSM during the campaign. He promised to give the profits gained in his properties from foreign powers to the government.

It doesn't matter if he had them before elected. He isn't supposed to use them with his capacity as president to profit, which he has done, and quite extensively. He isn't giving the money back to the government. We know he's a proven liar in this arena.

It doesn't matter if people didn't care. It violates the #### Constitution.

I strongly doubt you would be as apologetic or dismissive of this if a guy with a D by his name were doing it.

Just like all the democrats who have made millions on a 100k salary. Your outrage is noted and is ridiculous.

I like the Trump hotel. They have an awesome bourbon selection. So A+ in my book of real news.

Of all of the BS the Trump admin does, this is the one that baffles me the most as to why nobody is taking action over it. This is atrocious for any president to do and every American should demand it to stop.
