Why shouldn't he continue to do it as president? Who's going to stop him?

When Trump hawked a bunch of Trump-branded merchandise ahead of Election Day, it was bizarre but understandable: He was facing a cash-crunch and wasn't sure if he'd win.

The fact that he's *still* doing the same thing during the transition is even weirder. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Is this photo he's using from inside Notre Dame Cathedral?

As President, he will crank it to 11.

Heard on the NPR 1A program today “Grounds for optimism on ethics in this coming Administration are that Trump showed no tolerance for schemes that do not benefit him personally”

No one.

No one will stop him.

Really feel bad for Mrs. Biden having to sit next to him.

An interviewer should ask him how he plans to apportion his time in office between national matters and his business interests.

Especially since he's always treated the federal government as a mere subsidiary of Trump Inc.

In theory, the Emoluments Clause *should* kick in as relevant, but we know from his first term that these legal efforts are ineffective, despite the Constitution's unambiguous language.

Yes, it's clear that the #EmolumentsClause is a dead letter after the first term. Dems didn't even try during the time they held the House.

It's not weird - it's entirely predictable. And if you don't think it'll continue after he's in office, I have a great bridge located in the Mojave Desert that I can sell you, cheap.

He's now directly competing with Leon for the title of Richest Man in the World. If I were Leon, I'd be worried.
