Trump profited from Pence trip to Doonbeg.
I’ve often wondered what Pence did. Now I know why he was Manafort’s pick. Talent recognizes talent. According to data collected by CREW, Pence has made over 20 visits to Trump properties since January 2017. So has Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has made 16 visits. Systemic grifters in our highest offices. Barr won’t stop the flow of American tax dollars into Trump’s pocket. He’s good for 30 k of his own dough. Mitch? Please, b....
The foreign spending at Trump properties is another matter...
But if your point is that the Founders were worried about a President taking bribes, or other corrupt acts, yes, they were!
Air Force says it sent crews to Trump’s Scottish resort up to 40 timesClause 7: Salary
"Domestic Emoluments Clause" redirects here. For other uses, see Emoluments Clause.
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.
The president's salary, currently $400,000 a year,[11] must remain constant throughout the president's term. The president may not receive other compensation from either the federal or any state government.
The tally represents the preliminary results of an Air Force review launched after POLITICO reported that an Air National Guard crew had stayed at Turnberry.
The Air Force has said the refueling stops at Prestwick — and all related overnight stays — are well within Pentagon guidelines.
But the Air Force did concede that the appearance of staying at the president’s posh property might create a negative perception, and it has launched an internal review that will assess the “guidance associated with the use of civil airports and lodging selection for aircrew at en route locations,” according to a memo issued Monday.
The roughly 40 stays at Turnberry are likely to raise eyebrows among congressional Democrats, who have said the practice raises conflict-of-interest concerns and might violate the Constitution's domestic emoluments clause, which prohibits the president from receiving money from the federal government other than his salary.
