    You're quite free to show Trump getting a benefit from it. In the meantime, I'll note how you didn't answer any of my questions.

    Did any of those previous presidents personally benefit from the “arms deals”?
    I think you better read this

    https://crsreports.congress.gov/pro...e of the Domestic,to exert influence over him.
    In fact CREW has already tried to have the emoluments clause applied but

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CREW_...tion says that "no,a claim under the Domestic

    But waaah! Waaqh! Waaaah! Everyone is out to get poor widdle Donnie

    Did Trump?

    Yeah, so? Payment for services rendered is not a "gift" or anything but services rendered. I'll put the same question to you I did another poster who refused to answer and the same post which you quoted but also never answered the questions contained therein.

    "Hell, Obama profited off of two books he released while he was President. Did that violate the emoluments clause? Was that ever looked into in order to see how many of his books was bought by foreign nationals? Was he required to divest himself from it?"

    When that money paid was for services rendered at hotels, yep. Not that context matters to you. But it does to those who are honest about the situation.

    There is no impropriety in receiving money for services rendered at a hotel. And that would be the appearance if leftists didn't lie and spin about it. IE: any "appearance of impropriety" is purely manufactured by political opponents.

    As you guys keep saying, you don't need to directly benefit from a bribe for it to be a bribe.

    You guys? I've never said that. Want to try your whataboutism again? Notice how you immediately change the goal posts every time you can't argue against a point made?

    I don’t think reports like this, on Trump, on Hunter Biden, basically on any politician affects the voters. They’ve become so used to all the negativity surrounding our elected officials, the presidency, senate, the house that most folks just let reports like this roll off their backs. Pay little to no attention to these reports other than political junkies like those on this site and the highly partisan. Those planning on voting for Trump won’t change their minds, same for those planning on voting for Biden. Folks look at stories like this as just another negative attack ad or something akin to that. If the 91 federal indictments haven’t changed any votes along with 2 states charging Trump, New York, Georgia, I highly doubt this will either.


    I think one needs to remember that both Trump and Biden are seen negatively by around 60% of all Americans. That all this negativity is causing many non-affiliated, non-party loyal voters to look for other candidates. Suffix poll had 21% stating they’d vote third party, Daily Mail had 22%, Quinnipiac had 23% stating they’d vote third party when more choices are offered to those being polled other than just Trump and Biden. The third-party vote is divided between RFK Jr. Manchin, West, Stein, Mapstead, others.


    One needs to realize that for most Americans both Trump and Biden are very unpopular, disliked and not wanted to become the next president. 20 years ago, reports like this would have made Trump resign or receive a percentage or two of the vote. Times have changed immensely.

    Shining Agent orange crap is a hobby for the flock he said this about: "I could shoot someone on 5th Ave and NOT lose a SINGLE vote"....that claim alone should tell you all you need to hear. The desperation of Agent Orange's flock is clinical and reminds me of this great post below:

    The Emoluments Clause does not apply to Biden family members

    No what's predictable is that Democrats don't care that Biden went from a net worth of 27k when he left the senate to over a 10 million (how much over depends on the source)

    Because of course, to MAGAs, Trump SAYING that he got a benefit from it doesn't mean he got benefit from it, right?

    It's like Trump standing in the middle of 5th Avenue and shooting somebody. To a MAGA that wouldn't mean he stood in the middle of 5th Avenue and shot somebody. In fact, NO amount of proof is even humanly possible to show that Trump is anything but a saintly cherub can ever exist in the minds of MAGAs. It's all "The Deep State". So... why bother!

    Hook, line, and sinker. I know you don't understand the difference between an actual bribe, and income from a business. That you would push this BS from Raskin, it's funny, but not in a ha ha kind of way. Just more BS disinformation designed to attack gullible folks. And here you are.
