      The emoluments clause is very very vague.

      It just says [checks notes], you can’t get gifts as president, from foreign governments.

      So, clearly, no violation here. Move along.

      Obviously it has some implied logic that most of the time it’s okay. Don’t look.

      And obviously not even an amendment (before free speech and guns). Just in the physical body of the original Constitution, which makes the wording super sketchy, as we didn’t know what the founding fathers thought (although there are dozens of documents telling us that also).

      TLDR: all good, shut up and suck it

      I think any honest person on his own side with half a brain would say the same.

      They won’t of course. But it would *such* an easy way to show some token pushback/backbone.

      It’s also a violation of common sense.

      It’s a giant national security hole on top of being a gaudy bribe.

      trump wipes his ass with the constitution on a daily basis. The rest of the republicans will continue to cheer him on.

      It violates the Constitution?   Well, why didn’t you say so?    Then **of course** Trump will accept their generous gift!

      America is having a problem. Because of the Supreme Court and Congress there is no way to enforce the law against a President.

      It’s wild we went from tan suits to taking $400 million planes as gifts.

      Critics say thing plainly and clearly forbidden by the Constitution may violate the Constitution.

      So does a million other things he’s done and is currently doing. Is anyone in any sort of position of power going to do anything about it?

    12. Probable_Bison on

      $20 million.

      That is how much Republicans alleged that the Bidens took in bribes and kickbacks over the course of a decade or so.

      $400 million

      That is the cost of this one airplane that is being given to Trump (not to the US and not to the Office of the President) and that he is planning on using for himself after he leaves office.

      by „critics“ you mean „the plain text of the constitution“ right?

    14. doddballer on

      His entire term violates the constitution.
      Remember when they made Jimmy sell his peanut farm?

    15. cargdad on

      Not “critics” – literally anyone who looks at the issue and has any knowledge about the Constitution knows all gifts given to anyone in the executive branch are the property of the American people – if the gift is accepted. It’s not difficult. Heads of State routinely give gifts to other heads of State. In the US all such gifts are the property of the State.

      The constitution is weak. It lacks built in defined enforcement measures. Something we need to fix.

    20. llamapositif on

      Oh, American media. „Critics say…“????

      You are the reason this man exists the way he does.

      Stop being the puppet of billionaires, editors of major media outlets. Only you can start the real truth revolution.

    21. Gresvigh on

      Be nice if people stopped debating the blatantly obvious and did something about it.

    22. newbscaper3 on

      The *constitution* says that this violates the constitution. What a horrible title.

    23. Present-Perception77 on

      So he gets a $400,000,000 private jet .. but 2 dolls is enough for you.
      How his supporters aren’t storming the Capitol right now, wearing their China made hats and carting their China made Trump Buybulls is just beyond me.

      We are being robbed fucking blind.

    24. ParkMobile4047 on

      He already has 2 planes as president and a third of his own. He just said little girls only need 2 dolls, not 30 of him. Yet here he is collecting more than 2. Practice what you preach you giant orange turd

    26. Disastrous-Angle-591 on

      No. Not “critics” and it’s not “controversial”. It violates the constitution and is a blatant bribe 

    29. gryanart on

      Again with the misleading headlines, it’s not critics it’s the Fucking verbatim language of the constitution that says it’s illegal.
