Real Constitutionalists would impeach Trump on corruption alone. Founders worried about it so much it's in twice: 1) Emoluments clause 2) Bribery as only named impeachable offense besides Treason Trump's used presidency to enrich himself, family, cronies. And we're letting it go.

I know Trump won't be removed for corruption. Still, Founders would be appalled by POTUS using his position to funnel taxpayer dollars and foreign money to his personal accounts, and at Congress for letting it go. Revealing how many self-identified "Constitutionalists" don't care

Secret Service pays fair market value to rent locations near where POTUS/VP and family are or own. Biden charged them as a landlord -https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jul/31/biden-charging-secret-service-cottage-rental/ …

Biden using his position to funnel taxpayer money to himself is also wrong (albeit smaller scale). Surely you're not going with the two-wrongs-make-a-right defense.

No sir. But when you suggest something is unprecedented (not even GHW Bush), I'm pointing out that this specific issue has happened in the executive branch previously.
-
Fair point. I'm pretty sure the scale is unprecedented, especially given the foreign money--Chinese trademarks, foreign govs staying at hotels, etc--and didn't mean to imply nothing like this corruption has ever happened. There's Teapot Dome, for example. But your point stands.

I appreciate your voice, and how you push people to think. I enjoy following you!

Thanks! That's really nice of you to say. And thanks for the pushback.
