‘Emoluments’ case against Trump will be heard by Maryland judge
A Maryland federal judge will hear arguments in a case accusing President Donald Trump of violating the Constitution by accepting payments from foreign and state governments. Monday’s arguments before U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte will delve into the substance of the “emoluments clause” and what it means. The clause bans accepting benefits from foreign or state governments without congressional approval.

My thoughts on this news
Well this is getting a bit more interesting. It will be interesting to see what this judge says about this lawsuit. Trump is clearly making a lot of money for his private businesses because of his presidency. He has also accepted lots of money in the past from both Russian and Chinese owned banks. Those are his real crimes of corruption. He is playing the typical political game all corrupt politicians have been playing since the begging of time, you give me something and I give you something. Except Trump is doing it on a whole new blatant level and he is clearly breaking the emoluments clause. He is a corrupt politician just like most of them...

I think it would be safe to say I sound like a broken record with regard to this President. The actual illegal acts he seems to be openly engaged in astounds me. But that being said ....is it really that surprising
Yes, he has been pretty much breaking laws his entire life, he was born into a wealthy family that did corrupt things... Unfortunately the court system in the USA is designed in such a way where the more money you have the easier it is to get away with a crime or just pay a fine... now that he is president all eyes are on him and it is easy to see how blatant his corruption is...
