Trump Calls The Constitution Phony While Comparing Himself To George Washington
Trump called the emoluments clause of the Constitution phony while comparing himself to George Washington running his business in the White House.
Trump said:
Trump went on to praise himself for having the best properties, and claimed that he would have made a fortune in business if he wasnt president.

Trump has so little reverence and regard for the Constitution that he called part of it phony. Trump also compared himself to Washington, which is ironic given Washingtons warnings about foreign influence and corruption in his farewell address. Trump is what George Washington warned Americans about.
The presidents comments were an admission that he scrapped his G-7 at Doral scheme because he was worried about the emoluments clause lawsuits. Trump is showing himself to be enemy from within that our Founders warned us about.

(63,221 posts)"deal" that he wants? He's just jealous because Obama has a lucrative book and a television deal and he's a complete failure. His ability to make money is being thwarted because of his position and he can't stand it.
