from Jamie Raskin:

'America is not for sale to kings and the president has no right to spend government resources at his properties. The Framers built safeguards to keep the presidency from being converted into a for-profit enterprise. Trump faces a reckoning with the Domestic and Foreign Emoluments Clauses. Read my Washington Post piece on it:

What’s Trump’s idea of ‘America First’? G-7 cash flowing to his golf resort.
U.S. emoluments clauses are the real ‘America First’ policy, but Trump ignores them.
