US Constitution Article 1 Section 9 Clause 8, “Titles of Nobility and Foreign Emoluments”:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United 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.
It’s literally unconstitutional. In the past, foreign gifts to presidents were typically turned over to the National Archives to avoid breaking the law. If Congress was a functional governing body they would rake him over the coals for this, among the hundred other laws Trump has casually flaunted.
They’ve proven the Constitution is just toilet paper to them. He’s a felon who will never see prison. That act alone stripped him from any future accountability. He’s untouchable, and he knows it.
The US senate has been severely broken since at least 1972/75 when filibuster reforms allow senators to block legislation with no debate and no physical filibuster requirement because other business can continue instead of blocking all floor activity. If I’m getting kickbacks from a developer or foreign country to prevent protection of say a natural springs & wildlife area in South Dakota I can block the debate and vote unless 2/3 (60 senators) can overrule me and I don’t have to say one word to justify my position. Neither party will fix this because aside from insider trading it’s how they all become millionaires from legal bribes via PACs and billionaire funded lobbyists.
Clearly, it doesn’t mean things like airplanes, watches, and gold bars. It’s written right there, anybody can see it, it’s just that Libz can’t read because of their public school education. They don’t even make emoluments any more, that was an olden days thing, like Laudanum.

Yeah emoluments clause went out the window in trumps first term. Like week one, probably.
The supreme Court did rush to make sure that anything he did while in office no matter how questionable was okay.
The Quid Pro Quo Potus
The fig leaf was that his family were running the business side, not him.
Keeping a watch and gold bar has no fig leaf.
Congress and functioning while the republicans have the majority is an oxymoron.

At least we have SCOTUS as a check on his powers!
Yup, they’re working on a blank check…
That is after they figure out how to make CA’s new maps illegal after saying TX’s maps were just fine.
Yeah right? Should be reason enough to burn this place down
They already signed that one.

Hahaha gotteem
“It’s a PERFECT deal.”
We need a brand new congress. End literally every one if their terms and vote in new people.
There’s a handful I’d keep, and a handful I’d execute. The rest can go, from both sides.
FuckEject, marry, killEject all but a handful or two of the Democrats, marry Bernie, kill the fascists.
Yeah, well, it doesn’t say anything about bribes, so checkmate, librul!
