A federal appeals court is set to wrestle on Tuesday with the legal future of a lawsuit accusing President Donald Trump of violating the Constitution by profiting from his business dealings with foreign countries seeking to curry favor with his administration.
At the outset of Trump’s presidency, many ethics experts urged him to divest himself of his far-flung business empire, but he refused. Instead, Trump turned over day-to-day control of his businesses to two of his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. Last March, the Trump Organization announced that it had donated just over $151,000 to the U.S. Treasury to divest what the firm said were its profits associated with foreign-government business.
During Trump’s inauguration in 2017, lobbyists working for the Saudi government paid more than $270,000 to put U.S. veterans up in hotel rooms at the Trump hotel in D.C. as part of an effort to defeat legislation that allows victims to pursue lawsuits against the Saudi regime over its alleged involvement in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S.

We're so tied up in court the important business of the country doesn't get done!
Trump treats the U.S. Constitution like Bush43. Bush43 stated. 'The U.S Constitution just a peice of US paper'!
WBLS1075NYC Lock him up!!!!
I’m sure there are NUMEROUS examples of this realDonaldTrump should be on s Valium Drip
realDonaldTrump is the most notorious criminal ever.
There's the legal issues. Then there's the moral issues of what he's doing.
So I believe he should get eight years in office that another eight years in office after that then the country will be great again
Yeah it's a no brainer DT violated the Constitution
I think after the 2020 election when Trump does his second term he needs to do two more times because he won’t have to fight so hard to get something done specially what is shadow government over the Democrat
