One obvious way Trump has used the White House to benefit himself is the 2017 tax overhaul, which further expanded preferential tax treatment for real estate developers.

It's as simple as looking at Trump's hotel property use by foreign diplomats or corporate entities trying to gain access or favor from Trump by spending millions for use of his property--

It's as simple as taking a before and after picture of use. If all of a sudden Saudi Arabia is renting the Trump DC Hotel for events when beforehand they never ever used it - and now Trump is approving military weapons purchases and ignoring their killing of journalists - is evidence that the emoluments clause is being broken.

Yes, some Russians stayed at his hotel. If they did not stay, that room would have ended up on priceline at a $80 discount.

I bet Trump has made an extra $80 dozens of times. It wouldn't shock me if we found out he's made well over $1,000.

I wonder if that is similar to people making donations to the Clinton Foundation when Hillary is Secretary of State?

It's centrally located four blocks from the WH. First class operation. Where do they want the Saudi's to stay, ...the Red Roof Inn?

I think they doubled.

Never mind the fact that Trump's hotels charge the US government for the Secret Service to stay in them and the price isn't at a discount.
