Before taking office with the
acclaim of Americans that want a wall covered in solar panels built on the
Mexican border, President Trump owned a hotel and possibly additional
properties in the nation’s capital city. The President has been sued by two
state’s attorney’s generals for letting foreigners that have public business
presumably, stay in that hotel. There is some sort of ban on receiving bribes
or emoluments from foreigners while in office.
In the founder’s day corporate
collective business didn’t exist. Individuals just owned land and private
buildings. It was easier to recognize illicit contributions then now. A new
herd of capital at Arlington pastures before Washington choose to cast a veto
would have been noticed. Capitalism and government could use reform.
Traditionally U.S. Presidents
have not been showered with foreign gifts or financial support and were thus
weak on the trade balance issue, giving more than receiving-a Christian yet not
a Democrat Party way of being-for-oneself. However there may be no law against
foreign born Americans actual taking the office of President through stealth
and subterfuge votes if one goes on the precedent offered by 2016 candidate
Senator Ted Cruz who is a foreign born citizen of Canada and Cuba. Canadians
and other foreigners including Ted Cruz may not be allowed to stay in the
President’s Washington D.C. hotel even if U.S. Senators if they have not
forfeited their foreign citizenship with denunciation and stamping on the Maple
Leaf flag and all of the foreign syrup that stands for within a foreign embassy
witnessed by their co-conspirators. The President may need to ban Brits and all
30 million illegal aliens and Mexicans from staying at any of his hotels to be
sure they aren’t slipping him emoluments including ketchup and Gray Poupon,
under the table.
If Hillary Clinton had been
elected in 2016 the Clinton foundation might have had to give up tours of the
state department or contributions from Russian oligarchs (life can be
hard). In order to comply with American
law the President may need to boot foreigners out of all his hotels and
possibly the Martian El Largo too.
When President George Washington
posed at the front of a boat while crossing the Delaware River amid ice floes
to stay at the four-star Mayflower Hotel he possibly day-dreamed of revenues
from his own future hotels when potentates of the Middle East and Canada would
pay top dollar for the privilege of staying at his King Suites chain to watch
Dusty Lanyard on special-view TV at a thousand dollars a night. Maybe he
knew that domestic Americans agitating for abortion and homosexual marriage
would never stay there to try to bribe him, yet if he could he probably would
have sent a tweet or two on the topic so future historians could reflect upon
in order to comment knowledgeably on such matters.
President Trump could just ban
any foreigners with government employment at least, and maybe even their
proxies and foreign media too and just give discounts to the National Rifle
Association members that are the only really trustworthy national organization
in a time where illegal aliens are better regarded in the state of California
(state officials regard a mustache as chauvinistic and are considering
litigating about National Security Advisor John Bolton over it when he gets on
the job).
