Here's what I would tell my middle school students whenever they were having a lot of emotions: your feelings are valid, but it doesn't give you the right to take it out on other people. Take a short timeout until you can calm down, then come back and join the class.

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden
Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered
He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office
And he's going to keep using it after he leaves!
Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal

Overseeing the presidential gift rules was among my duties as White House Ethics Czar -- so I know how it's supposed to work
The gift of this plane to Trump is illegal & unconstitutional
The AG & the WH Counsel oughtta be ashamed of themselves for allowing it

I don’t think non-lawyers can appreciate how remarkable it is that the leading conservative intellectual voices of the 90s and 2000s - Judge Luttig, Judge Wilkinson, Walter Olson, Ben Ginsburg, etc. - are being this outspoken against a Republican president’s abuses. Huge kudos to all of them.
