“The View” co-hosts and guest co-host Newt Gingrich discuss the president speaking out on his now-withdrawn decision to hold the 2020 G-7 summit at his Doral resort.

Steve Williams Wednesday, October 23rd 2019 at 1:36PM

The Emoluments Clause should be removed from the Constitution. It's not relevant anymore.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, October 23rd 2019 at 9:20PM

That won't happen because The Republicans needs 35 states to make any change to The Constitution of The United States of America and the Republicans don't have that power or control.

Steve Williams Wednesday, October 23rd 2019 at 9:54PM

You might someday find yourself with a Democrat billionaire President Ron.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, October 23rd 2019 at 10:44PM

What does having a Democrat Billionaire President has to do with Trump Mocks "Phony Emoluments Clause?"

Steve Williams Wednesday, October 23rd 2019 at 11:16PM

Because a billionaire is a businessperson. No billionaire in his/her right mind would give up his/her businesses to be President.

Steve Williams Wednesday, October 23rd 2019 at 11:19PM

Also Ron, modern day business is global and there's no way to separate out what is an "emolument".

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 10:12AM

MY QUESTION: What does having a Democrat Billionaire President has to do with Trump Mocks "Phony Emoluments Clause?"

YOUR REPLY: Because a billionaire is a businessperson. No billionaire in his/her right mind would give up his/her businesses to be President.

MY REPLY: That Democrat Billionaire President will also take a oath to swore to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and that also includes defending the Emoluments Clause of the U.S., found in The U.S. Constitution Steve.

Now let's talk about what's in the Emoluments Clause.

1. What does the Constitution say?

The foreign emoluments clause -- in Article I, Section 9 -- reads, “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.”

2. What does that mean?

Merriam-Webster defines emoluments as “returns arising from office or employment usually in the form of compensation or perquisites.” Historians largely agree that the original intent of the constitutional provision was to discourage early American leaders from being influenced by gifts or titles bestowed by European governments or royalty.

Now that hypothetical Democrat Billionaire President that you conjured up, out of thin air will also have to deal with that constitutional provision called The Emoluments Clause as well, if he wants that power, which is greater then any private business CEO could ever dream of.

YOUR COMMENT: Also Ron, modern day business is global and there's no way to separate out what is an "emolument".

MY REPLY: What past, presidents did in the past was to set up a blind trust while they served the country as president but not this one and that is the reason why Trump BULL💩 of mocking the Emoluments Clause is in the news today.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 10:13AM

Hey Steve, did I answer your questions?

Steve Williams Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 10:33AM

Ron, President Trump has LOST money being President. He has received NO emoluments. Also, your billionaire Democrat President could well be be Tom Steyer.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 11:16AM

Steve, Trump asked the Ukraine, a foreign government for help on getting dirt on The Biden's. That in it's self is just one emoluments clause violation, right their.

Trump is running scared now. Now he wants to build a fence to wall off Colorado now. Now that is FUNNY!!!!

Steve Williams Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 11:36AM

Ron, Trump never asked Ukraine for dirt on Biden. He asked that Burisma be investigated, and possible involvement from Ukraine in the hack of the DNC server. I couldn't care less about Trump's lack of geographic precision.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 11:57AM


YOUR COMMENT: I couldn't care less about Trump's lack of geographic precision.

MY REPLY: You don't really give a damn if Trump is telling you the truth about a few things connected to Trump's administration and that is your problem.

Just look at what Newt Gingrich is saying about Trump now.


Steve Williams Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 12:02PM

What is Newt Gingrich saying Ron?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 12:11PM

Just click on arrow at the top of this blog and watch this report and you to will know for yourself.

Steve Williams Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 2:17PM

I already have watched the video Ron. What is Newt Gingrich saying that YOU would say, "Just look at what Newt Gingrich is saying about Trump now?"

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 7:09PM

Then you already know what Newt Gingrich said about Trumps recent moves and especially about Trump calling the Emoluments Clause, Phony.

Since you said that you saw this report, what did Newt say about Trump wanting to hold The G7 at his hotel?

Steve Williams Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 8:43PM

He said it was a bad idea. Is that what you're thrilled about Ron?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 8:51PM

That is a LIE and you know it. Steve, that is not what Newt said, try again.

President George Washington managing his 7,400-acre Mount Vernon plantation and collected revenues from

the sale of its grains, fish, whisky, and SLAVES.

Thomas Jefferson was guilty of similar violations while President, selling thousands of barrels of corn, wheat, hogs,

and cattle—and SLAVES

......I, Robert Powell do not believe that trump$ette is NOT the real djTrump; that royCohn nurtured and cuddled

BUT.....

……..at least trump$ette is not known to have raped an African, tortured them or sold his own children....

FORGET it dumb dems......JUST elect a young healthy American in 2020 as Democratic President.....

.......LIKE the Attorney General Senator Kamala Harris...............

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 10:13PM

President George Washington managing his 7,400-acre Mount Vernon plantation and collected revenues from

the sale of its grains, fish, whisky, and SLAVES. before the emolument clause was written.

Thomas Jefferson was not guilty because the key word in The Emolument Clause is the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 9, Paragraph 8) that generally prohibits federal officeholders from receiving any gift, payment, or other thing of value from a foreign state or its rulers, officers, or representatives.

THINGS OF VALUE FROM "FOREIGN STATES.

So little Rob, you do see that point in The Emolument Clause?

Steve Williams Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 10:42PM

Ron, my proof is at minute 1:35

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 10:48PM

Then you know that a bad idea is not what Newt said.

Steve, what did Newt say about trump at 1:35?

Prove yourself.



Steve Williams Thursday, October 24th 2019 at 11:36PM

He said it was a dumb idea. Dumb idea bad idea, no difference Ron. I was going from memory the first time. Is it that Newt said it was a dumb idea that has you so delirious Ron?

Steve YOUR WORDS: He said it was a dumb idea. Dumb idea bad idea, no difference Ron.

MY REPLY: It is a difference STEVE, Newt said: This is what I don't understand about the president, AH! "This was just a DUMB IDEA!!!"

Don't try to whitewash what Newt said, You don't have to do that Steve, really you don't.


Steve Williams Friday, October 25th 2019 at 10:37PM

What don't you understand Ron when I said I was going from memory. Bad idea is EXACTLY the same as dumb idea. Don't be a twit.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, October 25th 2019 at 10:45PM

So, you agree that Newt did say: " This is what I don't understand about the president, AH! "This was just a DUMB IDEA!!!"

Trump Organization considers selling DC hotel at center of ethics complaints

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politi...

Steve Williams Saturday, October 26th 2019 at 12:37AM

"Since we opened our doors, we have received tremendous interest in this hotel and as real estate developers, we are always willing to explore our options," Eric Trump said in a statement. "People are objecting to us making so much money on the hotel and therefore we may be willing to sell."
