I don't think it violates emoluments clause because it is not foreign money. But it probably violates numerous FEC rules and ethics rules generally.

tRump is definitely a pig. But you know what Orwell got wrong? The pigs were at the top because they were smarter than the other animals. It never dawned on poor Orwell that pigs could rise to the top through sheer greed even if they didn't have any intelligence whatsoever.
