    Much simpler solution: refuse rooms to any representative and anyone doing business with the United States.

    Time to start brushing up on the Constitution's Emoluments Clause:

    Fake news -->

    Stop calling everything "fake news." If the president-elect lies, that's not fake news. It's a lie.

    Just for clarity, President-elect Trump ditching campaign promises that could never have been kept is evidence of cynicism, not moderation.
