Probable Emoluments clause violations:
governments using Trump crypto to funnel money to Trump.
Prob not an emoluments violation: A govt giving an airplane to the US for govt use & then to a non-profit presidential library foundation.
PS: I co-wrote 10 emoluments amicus briefs vs. Trump 2017-2019
You seriously think it’s actually gonna go to a legit non-profit foundation? Come on, this is Trump. It’s absolutely going to be his personal toy.
If it becomes clear that Trump actually owns it by flying it around after 2028, then maybe it is an emolument violation.
But until then, it’s a gift to the govt and a future transfer to a non-profit.
