Our constitution is fine as written. It's the childish people who despise it because it was written by old white men that get me. They've searched every line in there to find a way to overturn the 2016 presidential election and they found this emoluments clause. Which means President Trump can't invite the G7 world leaders to his Doral country club.

Big whoop! You've won this time globalists! Now how about getting on the NBA's ass about not supporting democracy fighters in Hong Kong?

Trump calls clause in U.S. Constitution ‘phony’ after plan to host G7 scrapped
​

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that being president has cost him between $2 billion and $5 billion that he would have made if he had continued running his business instead of getting into politics.

But, he told reporters, “If I had it to go it again I would do it in an instant, because who cares, if you can afford it, what difference does it make?”

Trump expressed annoyance at having to reverse his decision to stage the Group of Seven summit in June at his Trump National Doral golf resort in the Miami area.

His plan to have the event at Doral drew sharp criticism from both Republicans and Democrats who said it gave the impression that he was profiting from being president.

Trump dismissed what he called “this phony emoluments clause,” a line in the U.S. Constitution that prevents the president and lawmakers from profiting from their offices. Critics frequently accuse Trump of violating the emoluments clause.

COMMENT:-

Hey, it's only one clause so no big deal if Mr. Trump thinks that parts of the Constitution of the United States of America are "phony", right?

Next up, the four year term clause and the only two terms of office amendment?

Trump just wanted to have the world leaders over to his place and show it off. He even offered to foot the entire bill, free G7 summit hosting. But noooooo the haters in the media and oppo party had to spoil his day. Why do they hate him so much did he run over their dog or something?

Republicans were the ones who pressured him to drop it.

Here's a hint, it's not because he's a Republican.
Maybe pay more attention, that might help.

It rubs the emoluments on its skin or else it gets the hose again. Constitution hating liberals have found a clause in it they think they can use. I love laughing at liberals trying to make logical arguments.

You actually believe your troll posts are logical arguments...sounds like we found your problem.
About that sock smell, not sure we can do much about that.

Anything in the Constitution that doesn't say Trump can do whatever he wants is phony. When we get to 2024, he'll be complaining about the phony 22nd Amendment.

The only place where emoluments are mentioned are in Article l, Section 9, Paragraph 8. The very same Constitution the POTUS swore to defend, preserve and protect. Any intelligent person would acknowledge that he was referring to the Constitution.

I wouldn't have had any problem with that.



Actually he sort of hinted that he might have considered doing that after he said that he would do it "for cost" (which would have included the cost of the infrastructure improvements that he got to keep after the conference was over) which he only did after he offered to do it at full price (which would have included the infrastructure improvements that he got to keep after the conference was over PLUS the slim profit margin that anyone selling beer at $10.00 a glass makes).



I know, isn't it shameful how people keep pointing it out when Mr. Trump does something is

  1. insensitive;

  2. immoral

  3. unethical

  4. potentially illegal

There was no dog.

If there was a dog, which is not admitted but which is specifically denied, then it wasn't that dog.

If it was that dog, which is not admitted but which is specifically denied, then it didn't belong to them.

If it did belong to them, which is not admitted but which is specifically denied, then the dog was not run over.

If the dog was run over, which is not admitted but which is specifically denied, Mr. Trump didn't do it.

If Mr. Trump did run over the dog, which is not admitted but which is specifically denied, then the dog was not harmed.

If the dog was harmed, which is not admitted but which is specifically denied, then the dog did not suffer the injuries alleged.

If the dog did suffer the injuries alleged, which is not admitted but which is specifically denied, then the dog's owner did not suffer any damages at all.

If the dog's owners suffered any damages at all, which is not admitted but which is specifically denied, then the maximum damages suffered by the dog's owners are limited to the original purchase price of the dog minus depreciation.

I still think it would have been nice for Trump to have all the G7 leaders over to his place for some serious discussions and good times. If it's one thing Trump knows it's how to entertain people.

Trump has never had a pet, unless you include Stormy. Its the entire hygiene phobia he claims. Hygiene was not a concern when he had unprotected sex with a porn actress. I don't believe a word that comes from the mans cake hole.

How can you bear this burden? It must be exhausting.
 
A Plague Upon America.... (The WORLD gets to witness the backing of savagery in ways that was a long time coming, but its fully exposed "Now"!!)


I hope people are paying attention, how the "Republican sector".... has no concern for anything but "money",and the delusion of white skin power, to want to do anything they want with respect for nothing but their want of money and authoritarianism.
This is the result of 100's of yrs of thinking themselves superior.
These are the same types of Right Wing Republican who think they can use the contort the Bible, in aims to back up their long history of doing so to promote white nationalism.

Some adopted "Savagery by Any Means" for money and with money pursue to use as history has shown weapons upon others for the pursuit to hoard money and brutalize society...

Savagery = brutality, inhumanity, depravity, malice, barbarity, persecution, barbarism, ferocity, severity, bestiality, rancor, despotism, sadism, wickedness, spite, animality, fierceness, venom, torture, insensibility.
Click to expand...

Trump's presence shows that the claim of morality and virtue and the pretense of dignity is laid out in the open, as to the insincerity and the lack of integrity to even know the value basis of morality and the true value of dignity.

Many thinks its dressing fancy, talking in covert means by using word play.... We saw it all from Melania regularizing Michelle's speech and lying about it, to Trump lying about paying hush money, and Mulvaney on world wide media spilling the beans and then lying as if he is too dumb to watch a clip of himself speaking the words he spoke. When simple things can lead people to be led to pretend they did not hear what they heard... then one has a mass of fools who will say and do anything to support continued savagery...

We've seen it before... for 100 yrs, we saw them live the lies to back and support racial segregation and before that we saw them for 100's of years lie, deny, promote a false format of virtue, while rape was a daily habit, and even the denial of the babies their rapes produced, to the enslaving of the rape produced babies... to the brutality and disregard of human life... for the sake of pursuing and hoarding money.

One can go to any city and see a mass of such types that still parade around today.. with the delusion of the soul, to think that materialism and money makes them what their hearts can never be... because their vanity is far greater and overshadows any element of possibility of dignity being the driving force of compassion's integrity of the soul.

You can't fix that level of savage ingrained mentality. Those afflicted in these ways, know exactly whom they are, and main point is, "they don't care".

Trump is the poster boy for the vile that has damaged America, from the belligerence that comes out of his mouth, the lies he spews from his soulless self, and the lack of any concern or ability to understand the premise and principles of the Declaration of Independence, and he has total disregard for the values put forth in the Preamble.. and now he wants to pick apart the Constitution as if he can pick and choose which parts he can disregard and which parts he can bastardize to feed his megalomaniac aspirations of authoritarian dictatorship...

The reality truth will expose it all as they march toward the damages to the "currency" they worship.....

Sadly they are not along... there are others within all ethnicity groups who have adopted and some have been groomed into the material and monetary worship.... who call themselves by various other political names, whom money and delusions of grandeur have also afflicted...

The symptoms of daily "killings"... is and outgrowth of what these mentality have contributed to the production of.

We have Democrats who have been led as well into worshiping "contempt and belligerence"... they can't even listen to a debate and demand the focus remain on Principles.. they have too been groomed to see it as a pugilist event. Until Principles and Issues escape them... and they have lost the ability to know what is of the greater importance and the higher value.

People that know the truth... No Amount of Campaign Money can sway one from the truths, no amount of savage based TV commercials can delude them from the truths....

All these things are of such ease to invoke upon an "under-educated society" and even easier to invoke upon and uneducated, society; all these things are as well easy to impose upon a society that has been "cloned groomed as a pretense of being educated in the system of higher institution that were designed and promoted to further groom the masses into white nationalist plutocratic ideals.

Most elected politicians leave office considerably enriched by their time in office. If the emolument clause had any teeth, and meant anything, that would not be the case.

Some people find fault with non-traditional interpretations of the 1st and 2nd Amendments the way Trump finds fault with some interpretations of the emoluments clause.
