Lost among the circus of this administration is the emoluments issue. I confess I know nearly nothing about it and haven't taken 5 seconds to look at it.
Does the "emoluments" clause forbid a POTUS from profiting from office? If so, isn't the Saudi monarchy throwing $$ at Trump's properties after he's elected pretty much violate that on its face?
He didn't set up a blind trust, retained control of yhis business, and is cashing checks from foreign governments. Right?
The general manager of the Trump International Hotel in Manhattan had a rare bit of good news to report to investors this spring: After two years of decline, revenue from room rentals went up 13 percent in the first three months of 2018.
What caused the uptick at President Trump’s flagship hotel in New York? One major factor: “a last-minute visit to New York by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia,” wrote general manager Prince A. Sanders in a May 15 letter, which was obtained by The Washington Post.
