Of course, this is correct. Just another example of, The Russians are coming. The Russians are coming.. Great Alan Atkin movie parodying the Cold War. It took the last great Republican President to put an end to that foolishness.

Trump isn't making any money from foreign governments staying at Trump hotels, so this whole idea of this being an emoluments clause violation was always complete nonsense.
Trump should just call it the Trump Foundation and model it after what the Clintons did.
Call what? The United States of America? His Presidency? His fraudulent charity organization was closed down for self-dealing.
He should've done what he said he was gonna do at the start which was to acknowledge that his business was going to continue to receive funds & profits from foreign governments & explain his plan to prevent the co-mingling of these funds. I believe he said he would give Congress a monthly accounting.
“(2) plaintiffs have a cause of action to seek injunctive relief against the President; and (3) the injunctive relief sought is constitutional. The Court therefore DENIES the portions of the motion to dismiss that were deferred in the Court’s prior Order. An appropriate Order accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.”

I get you & what I find very strange yet at the same time very revealing about the various lawsuits against Mr. Trump winding their ways through our Justice system is the 'trend' or thread in virtually all of them.
It's one of the basic principles of our Constitution that 'no one is above the law'. For a POTUS to resist this very basic principle? It's as if he has to be forced to abide by the oath he took:
That a President is required, at the very least, to acknowledge his duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” (U.S. Const. art. II, § 3) & that it is consistent with his oath of office to “preserve, protect & defend the Constitution of the United States."

Where ever did you get that from ?? How is a foreign govt making a profit from a Corp/ personally owned hotel?? 2- since when can another country donate to our govt agencies?? There may be some tax involved but not what you are stating.
This is nothing but OPINION from the now discredited Guardian.
This is the same rag that accused Trump officials of illegal meetings with Russians that never happened.
No fact behind it at all.
Might want to stay more current on the latest news.
From yesterday:
“President Donald Trump’s narrow definition of an “emolument” failed to win him an escape from a lawsuit by almost 200 Congressional Democrats who claim the president is violating the Constitution by doing business with foreign governments.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan on Tuesday denied a Justice Department request to dismiss the lawsuit, filed in 2017 by Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal and other members of the House and Senate who claim Trump is violating the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.”

So Trump has been consistent on the issue since day 1. You just disproved the OP. Thanks.
