You cannot be President of the United States and do business with foreign countries and entities.

Period.

No exceptions. It it the law of the land.

Republicans have turned the other way since day one. They have betrayed our Constitution and our country.

Mr Trump said he could run his businesses and be President at the same time, if he wanted to. Nobody challenged him on his statement.

So, he was true to his word. He continued to act as President while doing business around the world. He said he would take no salary, even as he was raking in more than his salary off foreign businessmen at the Trump International Hotel, down the street from the White House. No, he would take no salary - he would just take it from other places.

This is a reason to impeach, even if Bob Mueller's investigation never happened.

This law only applies to Democrats, along with so many others.

When you’ve got the AG licking your boots, hey, it’s all good ....

And anything else you want, if no one stops you. Laws mean nothing when they're not enforced.

This guy's got me ready to vote for Strom Thurmond back from the grave if he had a D after his name.
