Donald Trump will still be violating the Constitution as soon as he’s sworn in

Continuance of the current Trump empire means that it will be rife with opportunities for quid pro quos and other illegalities. Most immediately, if those businesses continue to receive foreign government payments, Trump will be in violation of the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution from his first day as president.

So...given all the concern about legal matters in these threads . . . anyone care about this one?

It's OK if the President does it?


Hypocrite much

If a corporation receives money it is not the same as an individual (Trump) receiving the money. The corporation is a separate legal entity.

Exactly... the corporation receiving the money is a separate 'Person' from Trump himself.

Except to the Supreme Court when they want to bend election law.
