“No person holding an office of profit or trust, shall accept of any present or emolument whatever, from any foreign power, without the consent of the representatives of the people”

It's against the Constitution. Should it matter in this case? Is Trump such a great guy that it's OK if he solicits business and earns money from foreign governments as he's doing right now?

I see impeachment coming, that is if the Republicans really are the party of the Constitution.

Hey...the Bush and Cheney crowd took money from Saudi Arabia. Oil merchants have no national loyalty. In fact when there was obviously a Saudi connection to 9 11, no one paid attention..they just went off to Iraq and Afghanistan to sell war supplies and get more oil...so why the hysteria about Trump?

Default Trump has a Capitstist Life.

We would be foolish to expect that Trump will remove his name from all Trump businesses around the world. Going forward the Trump Machine will run the empire. (Blind Trust)


If HRC did not get indicted for the Collusion of the Clinton Foundation , how could we as a country justify the Impeachment of a President Trump?


So what the DNC and the left has created a new standard for public Servants.

Here in Toronto my girl and I dumped a lot of cash at the bar at the Trump Tower hotel...I wonder if Donald will get a few bucks?

He is not holding office at this point.

What is the law regarding presidents and running a business? I assume that he has reviewed this so that he keeps everything above board.

Does anyone remember Supermarket Sweep?

Supermarket Sweep is an American television game show. The format combined an ordinary team-based quiz show with the novel concept of a live, timed race through a supermarket. In the timed race, cameras followed the teams with shopping carts through a large vacated supermarket with several aisles; the value of items thrown into the cart determined the winning team.

IMO...the birther boy swindler is going to sweep as much self-enriching profits and assets as he can in a limited amount of time.

Pretty much nails it. He may only last a few months, but he has already indicated that he doesn't give a poop about the Constitution or his conflicts of interest with his businesses.


Great editorial in this morning's NYT by Charles Blow basically saying that Trump is a scammer and always will be.
