Trump Organization breaks agreement to not engage in foreign investments ... again

At this position far, far down the slide toward the land of serfs and autarchs, it’s almost amusing to remember that there was a time, called 11 months ago, when the idea of something known as “the emoluments clause” was taken semi-seriously. Not seriously enough that a president enriching himself by charging the Secret Service for hotel rooms, apartment rental, meals, and golf carts ever disturbed an improbable strand of “hair.” Certainly not seriously enough that Donald Trump had to produce his taxes to show that he wasn’t scooping up hundreds of millions from overseas oligarchs. But seriously enough that the The Trump Organization issued an agreement to not engage in new foreign projects. It even dropped some of its less attractive projects in India and Argentina.

But those were, of course, more innocent times.....
