Trump Dismisses ‘Phony Emoluments Clause,’ Defending Doral

President Trump compared himself to George Washington, who he said operated a business while he was president.

In his latest defense of attempting to host the Group of 7 summit at one of his properties, President Trump disparaged the emoluments clause of the Cons ution that prohibits a president from illegally profiting from his business while in office.

on Monday dismissed what he called the “phony emoluments clause” of the Cons ution that prohibits a president from illegally profiting from his business while in office and was cited by critics of his choice of Trump National Doral Miami for the summit. He also accused President Barack Obama of trying to profit off the presidency.

"I was going to do it at no cost or give it free if I got a ruling, ... it’s like a contribution to a country.” he says that only now

in fact it was private criticism from Republicans that ultimately forced his rare reversal. Trash lied about why
And he continued to talk up the resort,

with its “massive meeting rooms” and

“best location” and

said that “it would have been the greatest G-7 ever.” yes, in the horribly humid June heat

what he believes inoculates him against charges of trying to profit from his presidency: that he doesn’t take a salary.

“See whether or not all of the other of your favorites gave up their salary.”

Herbert Hoover and John F. Kennedy also donated their salaries while they were president.

Mr. Trump claimed that when he was elected, he put “all the stuff in trusts,”

Mr. Trump remains closely tied to his real estate empire,

and has resisted calls to sell his assets and put the proceeds in a blind trust,

arguing that he is under no legal obligation to do so.

the pullback of American troops in Syria that set the stage for Turkey’s invasion of land controlled by the Kurds, who are an American ally.

“We never agreed to protect the Kurds,” Mr. Trump said.

“We never agreed to protect the Kurds for the rest of their lives.”

White House press secretary sad that Anderson Cooper made fun of her for lying

Donald Trump promised to bring the best and brightest with him to the White House,

but instead has delivered a long line of upward-failing orcs.

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham,

whose work history has more red flags than an Olympic slalom event,

has never held a single press conference,

but she has found the time to speak with Fox News hosts on occasion.

Cooper mocked Grisham and asked the audience whether everybody who worked for Trump “had to debase themselves and lie like he does.”

a certain talking point that Grisham has echoed a few times on Fox News—that press conferences and media availabilities with White House officials are “theater.”

He said,

“Maybe one of these seven days a week she’s not doing her job,

she can catch maybe a matinee of Hamilton.Just tell them Mike Pence sent you—you’ll probably get free tickets.

Also, I hate to break it to you,

but TV reporters are already on TV.”

Grisham realized she needed to really drive home what it is she is trying to do,

"I am a single mom who (proudly) holds three roles in the White House,

and I am doing the very best I can. "

You see that, media elites!

She’s a hard-working single mother.

Surprisingly, her children haven’t been taken away and stuck in cages, and

shockingly, Marco Rubio and Ivanka Trump’s attempts to privatize paid family leave haven’t helped ease Grisham’s burden.

One Day After Trump Called Emoluments Clause ‘Phony,’
Court Sets Hearing in Emoluments Case Against Him

a federal court scheduled a proceeding to address an ongoing Emoluments Clause lawsuit aimed at Trump, meaning that

two Emoluments-related proceedings will occur in the same week this December.

Several legal experts quickly notedt hat the Emoluments Clause is not phony whatsoever–it’s an integral part of the U.S. Cons ution.

In truth, the so-called “Emoluments Clause” is actually comprised of two separate sections of the U.S. Cons ution:

(1) the le of Nobility Clause located at Article I, Section 9, Clause 8; and

the Presidential Emoluments Clause located at Article II, Section 1, Clause 7–collectively known as the Emoluments Clauses.

... understood from time immemorial to stand for and enshrine the idea and ideal that

U.S. presidents cannot make substantial profits from either foreign or domestic sources during their time in office

if such profits are made as a direct or indirect result of their being president.

“It is harder to imagine a more clear example of exactly what the emoluments restrictions were designed to prevent than

the president of the United States literally hosting international events in his official capacity at his privately owned properties,”


One lawsuit, stylized as Richard Blumenthal, et, al. v. Donald Trump, is currently pending before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

This action was brought by 30 Democratic Party Senators and 166 Representatives.

The suit alleges that

Trump has violated and continues to violate the le of Nobility Clause (also known as the Foreign Emoluments Clause) by accepting gifts and payments from foreign governments without congressional approval.

second case is being brought by the attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia. Filed over the summer, the case was initially shelved by a three-judge panel of GOP appointees.

The full court, however, brought the case back to legal life earlier this month–agreeing to hear the case all together or, in legalese: en banc.

That case, stylized as D.C. and Maryland v. Trump also alleges that

Trump has violated and continues to violate the Foreign Emoluments Clause–and other “unprecedented cons utional violations”–through the operation of his luxury D.C. Trump International Hotel.

RUDY GIULIANI TURNED NY’S SOUTHERN DISTRICT INTO A SPIN MACHINE.

HIS LEGACY IS COMING BACK TO HAUNT HIM.

a dubious distinction earlier this month when he became the second known ex-U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York to face investigation by his former office.

a contempt for the laws he once enforced.

There was the time he said that

alleged campaign finance violations are “not a big crime” because “nobody got robbed.

Nobody got killed.”

Or when he confessed Trump’s role in a conspiracy that involved “funneling” $130,000 through a law firm to pay off Stormy Daniels, the porn star with whom Trump allegedly had an affair.

Or the times he floated pardons for Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort.

Giuliani’s entire post-government life has provided a case study in ethical adventurism, if not actual criminal conduct.

he did political consulting was Peruvian presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori,

whose father, a previous Peruvian president, was convicted of ordering the extrajudicial execution of 15 people. Fujimori lost both her campaigns for the presidency; she was named in the Panama Papers as a client of Mossack Fonseca, the law firm at the center of the do ent leak, and accused of funding her political career through money launderingand bribes.

Giuliani also consulted for Aleksandar Vucic, a mayoral candidate in Belgrade, Serbia, who once served as the information minister to accused war criminal Slobodan Milosevic. Vucic eventually won the Serbian presidency and the Trump White House sent a delegation to attend his inauguration.

When he served as Manhattan’s top prosecutor,

he changed the tight-lipped culture of the office to one that actively shapes the narrative surrounding investigations.

He made such frequent use of fortuitous leaks that judges repeatedly admonished him for talking to the media.

As U.S. attorney, Giuliani’s use of the media soured the environment to such an extent that the judge overseeing Giuliani’s final prosecution — of Bronx Democratic boss Stanley Friedman and others as part of a bribery and fraud scandal involving the Parking Violations Bureau — moved the trial to New Haven because of the publicity surrounding it.

When former FBI Director James Comey worked under Giuliani as a junior prosecutor in the 1990s, he learned quickly that

“the most dangerous place in New York is between Rudy and a microphone.”

Giuliani’s post-government work eventually brought him into direct conflict with Southern District prosecutors when he represented Reza Zarrab, an Iranian-Turkish gold trader charged with evading U.S. sanctions. The case raised immediate diplomatic issues, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip

Erdogan pressing both the Obama and Trump administrations to release Zarrab.

After Erdogan embarrassed Trump last week by attacking Kurdish-held northern Syria, the Southern District announced new charges against a Turkish state-owned bank connected to the gold trader.

it was Giuliani’s work in Ukraine that crossed whatever invisible line had existed between the former U.S. attorney and federal investigators in the Southern District and placed him at the center of the House impeachment inquiry.

Giuliani closed his final trial with an appeal to the jury that resonates today.

“The people who know best about what was going on inside a cesspool of corruption like this one are the people who were wallowing in it,” he said.

“If you don’t get your evidence from them, it keeps going on and on and on, and this kind of corruption will never end.”

As Trash loses control of his Presidency ...

‘I’m in charge of the Hatch Act’:

Trump barked at ‘weak’ chief of staff Mick Mulvaney — in a room full of aides

an exposé about the Trump 2020 re-election campaign and

how the president is

“banking on base-pleasing campaign events –

more meticulously produced this time –

to outweigh any need for a fresh message.” hate, paranoia, racism, Christian nationalism, same old

Trump has apparently grown frustrated with White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney – his third in under three years –

and attacked him during a meeting with other aides present.

President Trump wanted to bring his Cabinet to a June rally in the critical swing state of Florida.

Appropriately, Mulvaney warned the president about the

Hatch Act, which prohibits executive branch employees from using their positions for political activities.

“I’m in charge of the Hatch Act,” Trump “barked” at Mulvaney, calling his chief of staff, one of the most powerful people in the nation, “weak.”

Trump is not “in charge” of the Hatch Act. It is an 80-year old federal law that was amended in 2012.

the U.S. Office of Special Counsel requested the White House “remove” her from her job. President Trump refused.

I've been doing it since April. It's a silly assertion from the author that traders playing volatility have inside knowledge of Trump tweets. Every economic forecast for 2019 said volatility would be the name of the game.

Pressed on his conspiracy theory the author responded “I don’t make any allegations, I don’t know what really happened."
