Trump will violate the emoluments clause of the constitution if he accepts a plane from a foreign government. He is throwing dinners for the big buyers of his crypto coin an open invitation for the selling of favors. What is Congress or the Supreme Court going to do about it?

It is beyond embarrassing to watch Donald Trump lecture the Canadian PM Mark Carney about the trade agreement his own Administration negotiated last term. Carney has a PHD from Oxford. All this was in the Oval Office in front of the gaudy faux gold ornaments he has placed on the historic fireplace.
