IDK, Seems like it would not be wise for any private company to sue any President. The US Govt can be heavy handed and has a lot more money available to make life miserable.
hahaha. It is beyond pathetic. we don't like you so we just keep bringing frivolous trouble you!
keep trying. Doesn't change the fact Trump is your president for the next 4 years, and he is not going anyway.
I think the point is no, the Nation can't stand four years of this jerk without serious consequences to our well being. Already the Russians are celebrating in the streets over their accomplishment of getting an ignoramus elected to our presidency.

The President has had 18 months. Just like lying to us that Health Care would be ready on day one...it was already done....the president has had plenty of time to do what under the law must be done. He just doesn't think the laws apply to him. Likely he'll learn differently.

Now that he has divested his interest in TRUMP and no longer owner of the company, then I bet he'll release his 2018 tax returns showing investment income, zero job-related earnings (since he is take ZERO salary for being president), and large charitable donations.
And we know that he has divested all of his assets, how? All I ever heard was that his sons were going to run the "company" while The Donald still retained ownership.
Sorry, that is not legal, as The Donald will find out in the months/years to come.
(What's more important is that we know this man is incapable of telling the truth. We saw that in spades over the weekend. Therefore, everything must be documented and signed and made public, otherwise we are back where we are today: The People don't trust the president, and that is a really, really, hugely bad thing).
Well, you have to think of the thousands of dollars Trump will make as foreign leaders pay for that bag of peanuts from the in-room snack bar while not really taking one.
"President Trump, I paid for valet even though I had no car, we need you to sign this trade deal. Here is my itemized bill from your hotel as proof."
How ironic that the guy who campaigned heavily on buying American and keeping jobs and profits in America to benefit the American worker is making money off foreign countries.

If you can figure out how you can get a person traveling to London to stay in a NYC hotel room, alert us.

TRUMP is an american-based brand so when people buy TRUMP, they are buying american...

Where to start?
Divestment, the opposite of investment, "is the process of selling an asset for either financial, social or political goals. Assets that can be divested include a subsidiary, business department, real estate, equipment and other property." Divestment Definition | Investopedia
There is no evidence that Trump has divested his interest in his various businesses. Merely announcing that your children are now in charge is not divestment.
- Director of the Office of Government Ethics Walter Shaub, Jr. is clear that "handing over" control of his business to his sons does not solve the problem of conflicts between his business interests and the public interest. He needs to divest.
- Ethics experts on both sides have pointed out that Trump will be in violation of the Constitution's Emolument clause as soon as he takes the oath of office.
Starting at noon last Friday, any foreign State guests paying to stay at Trump hotel or play on a Trump golf course, paying management fees to one his property management companies... puts Trump in violation of the Constitution.
Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8 of the Constitution: “...And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
His ridiculous "trust" as well as his plans to donate any profit his hotels make from any foreign state guests to the U.S. treasury is nothing but nonsense.
Though paying taxes would certainly be a step in the right direction, the Constitution is clear that accepting the money in the first place is not allowed.
Furthermore, emolument means payment, not profit from those payments.
Emolument: Payment made for work that has been done. Refers to payments made to millers for grinding corn as "emolere" means "grind out."
There is no question that accepting any payment from a foreign state is in violation of the Constitution. This has set off a constitutional crisis that will become impossible to ignore.
Congress should be addressing this issue but it is struggling to figure out what the hell is going on with all the Kremlin connections. So the courts will be the next best avenue to hold Trump accountable to the Constitution he took an oath to protect and defend.
