I suppose Pres. Trump has a small point because a number of Pres. Obama’s books have sold outside the USA. Pres. Obama could make this go away by donating all the profits from foreign sales to charity.

Obama actually went and got permission from the Senate ethics committee for his publishing contract and royalties while he was senator.

He agreed not to publish another non-fiction book during his time in office as president and donated the profits from the children's book version of "Dreams From My Father" to charity, providing scholarships for children of wounded and fallen soldiers.
Excellent. Thanks!
