Good think our system actually predicted this and its illegal even if it WEREN’T a bribe:
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.
First, I agree with you. But, even if Congress opposes him accepting it, they can’t enforce it. Pretty sure Congress wrote into law that we were supposed to have the Epstein files a month ago.
Congress can impeach and convict for any offense at all, which would remove him from the presidency. Short of that, a president may do as he pleases, because the courts have no similar analog. Sad to say it, but it’s true.

I mean, he’s a sack of shit for certain, but Congress has the power to stop this and will not, so it is implicit consent.
That is not what consent is
