- Trump’s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion - From Violations of the Emolument Clause
- Description
- The emoluments clause in the U.S. Constitution prohibits federal officeholders from receiving gifts or benefits from foreign states without congressional consent, ensuring the integrity of government officials. Yet Trump has violated that clause to the tune of Four Billion Dollars in just the first year of his second term. That is about Four Billion Dollars more than any previous president, who all, like Trump, knew it was illegal.
