US Constitution Article 1 Section 9 Clause 8, “Titles of Nobility and Foreign Emoluments”:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
It’s literally unconstitutional. In the past, foreign gifts to presidents were typically turned over to the National Archives to avoid breaking the law. If Congress was a functional governing body they would rake him over the coals for this, among the hundred other laws Trump has casually flaunted.

Yeah emoluments clause went out the window in trumps first term. Like week one, probably.
The Quid Pro Quo Potus
Yeah, well, it doesn’t say anything about bribes, so checkmate, librul!
Congress and functioning while the republicans have the majority is an oxymoron.
At least we have SCOTUS as a check on his powers!
