    I don't disagree that the hosting of a state event at a resort he owns is untoward at best. I just wonder at the reasoning of many claiming it's expressly illegal.

    I would say this dictionary definition does not apply;
    "Compensation received by virtue of holding an office or having employment (usually in the form of wages or fees)"

    I expect it will now get tested in court, as it should.
    This is nothing but a Democrat quibble point. It should be eliminated.

    When a mass shooting happens by a white dude that's played in the media entirely different than when it's a brown or black person. When there's blatant racism whether it's against blacks, whites, anything in between there are always those that try to excuse the bad behavior away. When there is hate towards certain people there's always a crowd that comes and follows and agree's with it or decides to not condemn it. That's what it is, it's the way our world works and it's unfortunate, and what I find more unfortunate then anything is that our politicians have become complicit in all of it.

    Marzy, what you say could make plausible sense - in 1787. Unfortunately for you, and everything you think about the Constitution, we have had 200 years of constitutional law, cases, holdings, rulings, and precedents handed down that examines exactly what the clause meant and means.

    Your kooky takes never takes into account that we have a third branch of government, the judiciary, and it is co-equal. Pretending they haven't ruled on this doesn't mean that they haven't ruled on this.

    You truly do not love or appreciate the Constitution or our form of government. That's all I can really conclude.

    umm, I still can't relate to what your trying to say. The second quote in response to the first just doesn't make sense to me.

    "When a mass shooting happens by a white dude that's played in the media entirely different than when it's a brown or black person."
    There does seem to be a difference at what happens in the above situations, and we never seen to get at the cause.
    Let's look at the rash of multiple shootings by young white dudes, most without a father in their lives. WTF is going wrong with them, and I specifically mean the white kids? Black kid don't seem to do this shit and we damn well ought insist these clues be
    tracked down and evaluated. I think you alluded to calling it terrorism! Hell, I don't think it is, but what ever, it ain't good and needs fixing. Has it to do with color? Well I do notice the difference and I want to know why?

    Great! Can't you send me to a ruling to read where a President was found to violate the clause?
    I would appreciate it.

    What were calling it Terroriam, Random Acts of Violence, screwed up kids whatever, but its a problem and its a problem to me that if a Brown person does it, its called terrorism, if its a Black person its oh they must not have a dad or some other racist nonsense, when its a white kid its not called the same.

    Will he make money from hosting the event? yes

    Will foreign dignitaries be staying at the resort and providing some of the profit? yes

    He was suppose to divest himself from his business. Has he? No.

    trump doesn't follow the rules that other presidents have lived by in the past as he doesn't live by rules, he makes his own.

    >>> Yeah, I think I just avoided the terrorism for the young screwed up white kids that do shit that we do not see Black kids doing. And specifically young white males without a father. Even though young black males also without fathers do not (so far) do these multiple shootings. There has to be an anwer as to why and labeling it White terrorism is not a useful answer. Perhaps I would help some feel better, but no real help.

    >>> I can related to an occurrence of Brown kids, doing multiple shootings in schools, mauls, or crowds.

    >>>> I think I just reversed this on you and it seems to me to be a big clue.

    Both Al Farouq Aminu and Jusuf Nurkic are Muslim….many Asians are Muslim...Allah Akbar means "God is Great"......brown dudes? Check out our own lilly white mass shooters and get back to me...Islam is the most racially diverse religious practice on the planet. Muhammed Ali talked about his first trip to Mecca and was amazed how diverse the pilgrims were...red headed blue eyed Muslims, Black Muslims, Filipinos, on and on...and yes...Arabs...let's put these things in proper perspective....atrocities are not exclusive ...they happen in every war and revolution throughout history...Spanish Inquisition was a torture chamber ..the real "witch hunt"
