Misadventures of a minority-elect President 129

Chronicling the misadventures of our minority-elect President’s alternate reality, alternative facts and the miscreants that comprise his administration so you don’t have to:

Today’s misadventures of our illegitimate, minority-elect demented delinquent begins with millions of Veterans losing health care if the fraudulent tax giveaway known as Trumpcare gets forced through the U.S. Senate, our delusional wannabe dictator believes he can violate the Constitution with total impunity, Trump – terrified of the Russia investigation – is once again trying to deflect attention away with Twitter tantrums and baseless claims, on our impotent Ignoramus-in-Chief’s demand for loyalty, our dimwitted dip shit’s dangerous foreign policy follies – committing more Syrian War Crimes with total impunity – need to be addressed, one of America’s largest smut rags joins Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda and more.

Trump’s ’emoluments’ defense argues he can violate the Constitution with impunity. That can’t be right article from The Los Angeles Times. –

Ah the hazards of trying to be a dictator in a democracy:

“When the president of the United States violates the Constitution there must be a way for a federal court to hear the case and provide a remedy. Three different lawsuits have been filed against President Trump claiming that he is violating the emoluments clauses of the Constitution by receiving unlawful payments or other benefits from foreign governments and from the United States.

Trump’s position is that the federal courts can hear none of these suits because no one has “standing” to sue him for these constitutional violations. But that can’t be right: It cannot be that the president can violate the Constitution with impunity and no court has the authority to hold him accountable.

Article I, Section IX of the Constitution prevents any person holding a federal office from receiving a “present” or “emolument … of any kind whatever” from a foreign state. This was meant to limit foreign influence in the U.S. by broadly forbidding elected or appointed officials from being obligated to another government.

Trump, because he hasn’t removed himself from his business empire, is constantly on the receiving end of benefits from foreign states. Among the most notable examples: Trump has more than 100 registered or provisionally approved trademarks in China, including six that were requested a year ago and gained preliminary approval last week, and his hotels and restaurants are being booked by foreign representatives whose governments foot the bill…”
