Trump dismisses 'phony Emoluments Clause' after Doral criticismPresident Trump on Monday dismissed criticism that his since-reversed plan to host the Group of Seven (G-7) summit at his Doral property would have led to an ethics violation. "I don't think you people, with this phony Emoluments Clause -- and by the way, I would say that it's cost anywhere from $2 billion to $5 billion to be president," Trump said during a Cabinet meeting at the White House. The Emoluments Clause prohibits elected federal officials from receiving gifts or contributions from foreign governments. Trump has repeatedly claimed the presidency has cost him billions of dollars. Trump offered a lengthy defense of using his Doral resort near Miami to host next year's G-7 summit, and lashed out amid questions about the backlash to his earlier decision. Complete article here: Trump dismisses 'phony Emoluments Clause' after Doral criticismWhat's striking is trump using the term "you people" instead of simply people. I bet that is not the first time trump has used that expression. i see. so he is going to try to make $2-5B off being president?
which article of impeachment will that be?
I think its part of his poor me victim shtick. On noooes, you can't imagine how horrible it iz that I iz President. I iz lozing billiuns of dollars. Billiuns! Like two to five at least! (Says President Pinocchio)

Trump put his hand on a bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. Now the Constitution is something 'phony". There is always some weasel language to be found. In his oath of office there is this little nugget: " will to the best of my Ability"
And many didn't really think this six time loser (or are there any bankruptcies that I missed?) had the ability to do the job to begin with!
There is also his being "ethically challenged" to create a lack of ability to do the job.
