President Trump labels the emoluments clause of the US Constitution as 'phony.'
“He has a deal with Netflix. When did they start talking about that?” Trump asked reporters. “That’s only a couple of examples.”
Trump, who gave control of his businesses to his children but did not put his assets in a blind trust, told reporters"other presidents were wealthy" and involved in business while in office, too."George Washington, they say, had two desks. He had a presidential desk and a business desk." “Instead of having 100 percent of that market that loves you ... now you have 50," Trump added. “That's called politics."
