the Constitution’s foreign emoluments clause, Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, which states: “And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
And he’s turning it into fucking airforce one !
That’s batshit.
Lately I have had fun with pointing out the holes in the constitution which under normal circumstances would not be an issue as it is understood what was meant. But with trump and the current SC these holes should be obvious on how these will work out just fine for trump.
