Since the Democrats are so smart, why hasn't Trump been charged with any crime? Again, if this was an issue he would have been impeached over it.homeagain wrote:

Trump moved from the skyscraper to the White House in 2017, but he held onto ownership of the retail and office space in the building, through his 100% interest in an entity called Trump Tower Commercial LLC. That put him in an unusual position, given that government-owned entities in China hold at least 70% of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Suddenly, a routine real estate deal became a conduit for a foreign superpower to pay the president of the United States.
perhaps REREADING the article might clarify some issues....emolument clause of the US CONSTITUTION
appears to come int play.....

sooo, the Trump Organization has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the treasury but the article is complaining that is isn't enough. This from the same rag that claims he only paid $750 in taxes??? C'mon man!The Trump Organization reportedly donated a total of $343,000 to the U.S. Treasury in 2017 and 2018, Trump’s first two years as president. Yet, a document connected to Trump Tower suggests that over those same two years, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China was set to pay about $3.9 million in rent. Operating profit margins inside the building are an estimated 42%, which would suggest that the deal yielded $1.6 million of earnings over those two years. Even if you only count roughly 70% of that money as coming from the Chinese government, it still adds up to $1.2 million—or more than three times what the Trump Organization reportedly gave to the Treasury.
