Ladies & Gentlemen; in the unlikely event you were not aware, *alabuck* of Tennessee is a troll. The article he points to as his source of enlightenment is credited to AP business writers Bernard Condon & Jonathan Lemire, of which he plagiarizes.
Of Mr. Lemire's talents I know nothing and so I offer no comment. I do however know something of Mr. Condon's less than reputable literary works and how the industry of business writers, of which I am one, rate his talents. Typically level 3.
Bernard Condon, a believer in Keynesian Fiscal Policy, begins his article, "Ethics experts" (we later discover it is an individual, not plural, Professor at Harvard Law, Laurence Tribe, a socialist with tenure...go figure) the article continues; "possibly" putting him *President Trump*, in violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution. On its face dear people, this is a bogus statement.
Congress insisted as Congress does with each newly elected president, that all personal and business assets be *set-off* in a blind trust for the sole purpose of negating any possibility of profit or other beneficial reward having been received or perceived especially where a foreign government or agent may be concerned. The article ends with what can only be construed to be the authors' disclaimer; (deniability) Trump's company 3 years earlier successfully negotiated with an Indonesian developer a "Trump-branded hotel" scenario.
And now for the benefit of alabuck. Understanding that all of any president's assets are secured in a legal entity beyond his reach or influence and in compliance of the emoluments clause of the Constitution and, the business agreement(s)/obligation(s) by & between then, Donald J. Trump [a private citizen] & Co., the developer and the developer's financier having been established well in advance of Mr. Trump announcing his candidacy, please explain how you justify your claims of, *prostitution* *exposing the US to harm* and *potential espionage*. Or, perhaps, you are nothing more than a jealous troll advancing the slime strewn by a pair of socialist pigs.
The First Amendment to the Constitution states in part; Congress shall make no law...or abridging the freedom of speech. Since 1791 our First Amendment has been amended to prohibit any speech that would cause public panic, no shouting fire in a crowded theatre. Today I would not be against further amending the First to include discord, hate, fear, slander and fake news. Perhaps then you wouldn't be so quick to follow the unchecked attention-getting opinions of others. Perhaps, you could just get over having lost the election. And 20 & 24.
Ladies & Gentlemen; in the unlikely event you ... (
