The articles of impeachment on the Emouluments Clause ALONE would take MONTHS of public testimony at this point.

And the thing is.. if he had really wanted to, he could have legally monitized his time in office all he wanted ON THE BACK END (after he left office) and nobody would have gave a shit.

Hes too stupid to have figured that out tho. That by itself, should constitute an impeachable offense...I'm not defending him but jesus dude, all you had to do was 'The Job', and keep your mouth shut for 4 years.

smdh.
