Hi Ace,

Because of his ownership stake in the Trump Organization, Trump’s private financial interests are intertwined with a busines subject to many possible burdens and benefits abroad.

Donating the profits doesn't fix this. Trump may think it does, but it doesn't. Not sure if you saw the news lately but his current legal team isn't that good, and no big lawyers want to work with him.

In his dealings with foreign powers, Trump may be guided not only by the interests of the United States, but also by those of the business that bears his name. It is the purpose of the foreign emoluments clause to eliminate this kind of blurred loyalty.

U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte is right in my opinion not to throw this out. This matter like all the other matters around Trump, needs to be investigated. If he's done nothing wrong then he can turn over all the paperwork and settle the matter quickly.
