Seems to me the trump EO is absolutely in line with the requirements of 8 USC 1182.
Have you read it?

The emoluments clause does not apply to parties! What gave you that idea?

It only applies to individuals. Period. Elected individuals.

One would think President Trump would take a break from the 'Shock & Awe-ing' of the American people?

One would think the FUD tactics would cease once he became President? Campaigning on Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt may have ushered him into his new gig, however governing this way?

Why not work on gaining the trust of the American people?

The unprecedented economic conflicts of this administration need to be visible to the American people, including any pertinent documentation which can reveal the foreign influences and financial interests which may put Donald Trump in conflict with the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

In keeping with tradition and to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest, corruption, and violations of the emoluments clause of the US Constitution, President Trump should divest his financial and business holdings or have them administered by a truly blind trust.
~149,780 American people signed

Will he have the common decency & respect to at least respond?

Give it at least a year before you start shouting impeachment.
The corruption and hypocrisy is evident, but it needs to manifest in to something that affects everyone first.

Some people need to be hit in the pocket book or have an issue hit directly on to their own home before they start caring about larger picture ideals
