Well, duh...

The emoluments clause has never applied to Trump's hotels... just as it has never applied to any of Obama's book sales.
Obama sold books during his presidency?

Except the Trump Foundation is no more because he had to dismantle it.

Profiting from foreign governments, i.e., ambassadors, emissaries, etc., staying at his properties while he's president.

They're working on it and have been. Thankfully, it's progressing through the courts. Trump shouldn't be profiting from his businesses while he's president.

Just before entering the White House, Obama finished a manuscript for the children's book "Of Thee I Sing, which Random House subsequently published.

Obama donated all the post-tax proceeds to the Fisher House Foundation to support a scholarship fund for children of wounded and fallen soldiers.

If this isn't enrichment, hard to say what is.

"During the first year of Donald Trump’s presidency, the Trump International Hotel in Washington charged the Secret Service more than $200,000 in taxpayer money, including a bill topping $30,000 for two days of use, according to expense documents obtained by NBC News."
