Sue the government or serve as president; you should have to choose.

We shouldn’t even need to do this, but since we live in the age of the Air Bud government I guess we have to.

I mean no shit. You cannot sue a body that you have primary control over.

jesus, this administration really is “there ain’t no rule saying a dog can’t play”

It’s insane that this even needs to be said. Obviously it’s a conflict of interest to sue your own government, that you are the head of, for money. It’s like the boss of a convenience store walking up to the cashier and saying “give me $500 out of the register or I’ll fire you”

The emoluments clause has always kept everyone else in line – Trump doesn’t follow the rules nor the norms.

I’d say at the very least there should be a neutral third party brought in to determine if the settlement is legitimate but knowing this regime they’d pick someone like one of his scumbag kids to make that choice and when questioned just deflect and insult the person asking questions
Republicans have done so much damage to this country. We were far from perfect before but now we’re so low it’s going to take decades just to get back to being only shitty

The one positive thing about Trump is how he’s illuminated how much of our government has been relying on the honor system.

How about we have a class action suit to claw back all the money this administration has stolen from the American people.

Closing the barn door after the orange dick tator sued. GOP will be against this because cheeto says so.

Good. I’m sick and tired of hearing about how much Donald has „sacrificed“ being president while he accepts every gift, bribe and settlement that pays 100x-1000x+ what he’d earn in salary all while taking twice as many vacation days as any other president before him

Retroactively too!

Maybe also look into potus spending their own money on non essential travel and accommodation
The money we have spent at mar a logo for no good reason at all when the white house and camp david are secure and accessible is insane

so i expect a lot of turning shit into law instead of „norms“ when the executive changes

Weird how we never had to do anything like this with any previous President.

A couple of years ago, this would have been an onion headline. Now we have an onion headline as a president.

I don’t see how we don’t just toss any case that has the same plaintiff as both prosecution and defense.

Imagine loving Donald Trump so much you think it’s cool that he takes your tax dollars and shoves them right in his pocket.

The framers of the Constitution never imagined such a corrupt President backed by such corrupt people and elected by such a stupid populace. Even now, it all seems impossible.

They should bar felons being president first but they’re not actually against trump so they won’t

If you can’t file a civil suit against the president you shouldn’t be able to file a civil suit as the president.

Yeah I feel like a President using the power of the government to sue the government for personal damages should be unconstitutional….

The fact we even have to make a law for this is totally insane.

This should be entirety uncontroversial.
It won’t be. But it should be.
