President Trump on Monday defended the initial decision to host next year’s G-7 summit at his golf resort near Miami, dismissing concerns that he would have personally profited from the event, and deriding “this phony Emoluments Clause” in the Constitution.
Mulvaney last Thursday said the resort, one of Trump’s most valuable properties, would have hosted the three-day summit in June “at cost.” Democrats weren’t the only ones raising concerns that the plan would have violated the Emoluments Clause, which prohibits government officials from receiving gifts or payments from foreign governments.
Trump then wondered aloud why there was no uproar when former President Barack Obama signed deals for book and television projects.
Trump has no network
NARRATOR: But he needed to pay his Russian loans, and his dementia, exacerbated by a stubborn Sudafed addiction and a myriad of venereal diseases, made it difficult for realDonaldTrump to form any kind of coherent thought or plan of action.
If you don't want to follow the Constitution go back to Russia
Dunning-Kruger in full bloom.
Lunatic

Trump said the Emoluments Clause is 'phony.' It's part of the US Constitution.The foreign emoluments clause bars public officials from receiving gifts or cash from foreign or state governments without congressional approval. That is NOT what he said, FAKE news Let's face it -We have a president that is used to having sycophants/toadies, young children, and ppl who do not fluently speak or understand English listening to what he has to say. He knows little (if anything) and can't stop talking. he could say the word EMOLUMENTS? amazing.
