Emoluments clause is "phony," says the President of the United States of America - deckeda - 10-21-2019
at today's Cabinet meeting
Washington Post wrote:
Speaking to reporters who were allowed to sit in on his Cabinet meeting, Trump suggested that he was being held to a different standard than other presidents, including some who were also wealthy.
“Other presidents, if you look, other presidents were wealthy, not huge wealth,” he said. “George Washington was actually considered a very, very rich man at the time. But they ran their businesses. George Washington, they say had two desks. He had a presidential desk and a business desk.”
At that point, Trump complained about “you people with this phony emoluments clause.”

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Don't like it? Go be president somewhere else.

SO jealous of Obama, and always will be.
Hey, Obama made a deal for a book. Is that running a business? I'm sure he didn't even discuss it while he was president. Yeah, yeah. He has a deal with Netflix. When did they start talking about that?https://www.axios.com/donald-trump-phony-emoluments-clause-g7-summit-44369ec1-d0ad-42a3-89f8-df6067ee48b8.html

$2 to $5 billion? I think that would put him in the category of "chump."
