was it illegal? if he had done that, he wouldn t have this issue. he doesn t have to. that s fine. but that s why he s it s not illegal to do it, so take that off the table. i m not saying it s illegal. he did make a very clear recommendation for him to completely get rid of these potential conflicts. and why? because when he takes foreign money the president isn t taking foreign money. he is! he is, paris. because that money goes into his corporations and he takes the money from his corporations. he personally benefits. [ overlapping voices ] that s incorrect. that s the point. it doesn t have to say specifically your hotel can t benefit from foreign governments. it specifically says you cannot profit from foreign governments. that s the way it it doesn t even say profit. you can t take money from a foreign government, period. and that s in the constitution. i think he attempted at the very beginning, as manu mentioned he attempted to show
emoluments issue then. it was simply because president trump has a hotel in washington, d.c., which is a hotel that people are frequenting. that s what it is because if that was the case, we would be parsing hairs over all the other it would be a lot more than that, paris, because president obama or frankly, i don t think any president before him or before trump has had the kind of business entanglements that this president has, which is why people were advising him to completely divorce himself from his businesses while he was in office. was it illegal? if he had done that, he wouldn t have this issue. he doesn t have to. that s fine. but that s why he s it s not illegal to do it, so take that off the table. i m not saying it s illegal. he did make a very clear recommendation for him to completely get rid of these potential conflicts. and why? because when he takes foreign money the president isn t taking foreign money. he is!
