He did and as usual it was a load of crap

And it is against the Constitution to accept money from foreign governments while you are in office. It's called the Emoluments clause. If he doesn't fully divest, and handing the business over to his kids is not fully divesting, then he still stands to make a profit. I understand he feels it's unfair for him to have to sever ties with his businesses, but then it's the presidency and if he wants it then that's the deal.

It seems though, that some are cool with the standard being "just do whatever you can get away with" as far as Trump and his businesses. And if that's the case, you assumed Clinton was up to the same no good, then why did you leave us with this fucking moron who doesn't know the first thing about governing if we still get the same amount of corruption, more so actually, but none of the actual knowledge or experience?

The Title of Nobility Clause is a provision in Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution,[1] that prohibits the Federal government from granting titles of nobility, and restricts members of the government from receiving gifts, emoluments, offices or titles from foreign states without the consent of the United States Congress. Also known as the Emoluments Clause, it was designed to shield the republican character of the United States against so–called "corrupting foreign influences". This shield is reinforced by the corresponding prohibition on state titles of nobility in Article I, Section 10, and more generally by the Republican Guarantee Clause in Article IV, Section 4.[2]
