http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/2/16/1634361/-Emoluments-Trump-receives-Chinese-trademark-in-exchange-for-one-China-statementTrump has for decades tried to trademark "Trump" in China. Somebody named Dong Wei had trademarked it first and Trump sued multiple times in court to get the rights to "Trump". Several trials over several years and Trump always lost.
Last week, Trump switched publicly from a Two-China-policy to a One-China-policy.
Yesterday, China did a 180° and suddenly granted him the "Trump"-trademark.
The President getting something from a foreign government that is by his own statements worth billions of Dollars???
