A personal favorite. Not a cartoon but may as well be.....
The Doral G7 hosting incident makes me laugh. This was where Trump said the Emoluments Clause was "phony." Basically to sum up there's a "conflict of interest" with a sitting President hosting a summit at his own resort.
Some message board activity LOL.....
Why not Camp David? Because the president doesn't own it.
Because the president can't use taxpayer money to renovate and upgrade his personal property unless conducting official government business there.
It's simple grift. Easy to understand, easy to see why it should not be allowed.
But hey, it's your guy. Cognitive dissonance wins again.
Defend it, if you can.

Forget that. The domestic emoluments clause states:
The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.
His order to allocate federal government funds to his own personal business is as blatant, deliberate a breach of this constitutional provision as could be imagined.

This was just an attempt to use taxpayer money to renovate his failing Doral.
What's so wrong with that? Get Over It.

I agree, I like how he purposely didnt read the WHOLE clause... Leaving out the part of " without the Consent of the Congress". Wish people would read the constitution themselves instead of being sheep to the media.
he didn’t get consent from congress tho

"Next G7 at Obama Towers, a wholly owned hotel of Obama, Inc. GOP erupts in applause and approval." Lindsay Graham quoted as saying, "Obama is just so gosh darn proud of those towers. I'm so happy for him." Sean Hannity tweets out his approval and excitement for Obama's wholly owned hotel to be hosting official government events.”

We did not vote in Trump as President just for him to act cowardly when faced with the a challenge from the Constitution. He should fight the Dems over this who are trying to enforce the Constitution on him.
