Looks Like Trump Will Keep DC Hotel. And GOP Will Attack Anyone Who Questions It.

[TheMastersNemesis]

The GOP is setting its own law and its own version of the Constitution.

1. they have done that for years

2. From what I understand, the contract with the GSA

states that a government employee may not benefit from the contract. Trump becomes a government employee (I don't care whether or not he collects a paycheck - he will be a government employee) once he takes the oath of office. At that point I would think that he would be in breach of contract.

3. You broke it, you bought it

I can only hope, when things get challenging enough for even those folks who voted for Trump and the rest of the GOP, that they will ultimately hold those clowns accountable.

In this regard, I would really like to see the Democratic leadership have a strong and stiff upper lip and follow the Republican playbook for the last eight years, which is to not cooperate on anything.

Put another way, their only participation should be in hanging the kryptonite necklace around every GOP elected official out there.

4. Yep. Democrats should do NOTHING for them. Democrats will get ZERO benefit and 100% blame.

5. he's keeping all his businesses too. imagine if a democrat ignored laws and did this.

impeachment would be on day one.

6. When we get through this and claw our way back to power

Some of these folks need to experience some serious jail time. And I'm including members of the media as well.

7. I wonder how long it will take for the GOP to understand

anything with the Trump name on it is a terrorist target?

[bigtree]

8. respect for the law

...only for us?

9. Then he's violating his Oath of Office to uphold the Constitution. The Emoluments Clause is clear.

He will make himself illegitimate as will the Republicans in Congress if they don't intercede.
