Ask Trump directly - Would you explain to the American people, how as President, you have made 3 billion dollars - while not violating the Emoluments Clause?
During some event where there is a national audience.

(8,043 posts)That is so true. The increase in the administration's lawlessness is only eclipsed by the completely complicit or incompetence of the GOP Congress. The laws exist and they don't care if they are followed, unless it's a poor person they can put in jail.

(8,724 posts)Not even the Dems in Congress. Not in either of the two first term impeachments.
Why not? Seems easily provable to me.
But you won't hear the word.
I think we would hear evidence about Trump ordering Epstein's murder before we heard evidence/charges of emoluments.

(51,994 posts)Then of course, he'd have to call the person a bad journalist who represents a fake news outlet. A very strange man getting stranger each day.

2) At least it's on record that he'll either lie, evade, or deny it.

(24,577 posts)I don't make much money. My sons, however, who are not overly involved in government, run some businesses. I think maybe they brought me some diet Coke, I don't remember. They might have made some money.
And Kushner, I think I met him, he runs some funds that are maybe doing ok.

(4,994 posts)I feel like all of our wires have been crossed by trump. We have this part of us that is honest and innocent to the core, and that part keeps believing that he will accidentally wake up one day and I don't know what.
He is a pathological liar, a narcissist and a psychopath. Any of those diagnosed would eliminate believing anything he says, but all three? Even in his mental health issues we are overwhelmed by how staggering it is.
He has no shame, no conscience, no soul.
