Yes. No president should profit from his office at his businesses period.

Seriously. This is a no brainer and violates so many codes of ethics and conflicts of interest. For Gods sakes Jimmy Carter put his farm into a blind trust.

Absolutely! Trump violates the emoluments clause every single day that he collects money and allows himself to be influenced by those who enrich him, potentially at the country's expense. It is utterly scandalous. If he can't bring himself to be ethical, and he surely is unable to, then we must impose it on him.

Isn't this already a law?? It would be nice if congress actually enforced the laws. Checks and balances.

Absolutely! Trump should not be using the government to line his pockets.

Emoluments have always been prohibited so that [real] presidents would be working for the good of the country not to line their own pockets. The corruption of #45 is shocking. Yes, no extraction of American money should be allowed by the Swamp People in the White House. Amendment 25 should remove this man and those who came with him should be fired as in Pence campaigning with his homophobic misogynistic agenda. We need White House concerned with the welfare of the people of our country not with his own impairments and fragility he tries to repair with massive money infusions.

YES!! How is this even being allowed to happen?? His family is now banking on the presidency.....that's just immoral!

Unless you are a fan of kleptocracy you need to support this bill

What happened to divesting his interests into a blind trust?

Yes! This should have already been a law, time to shut this down immediately.

Trumputin Tinyhands has been in violation of the foreign emoluments clause of the US constitution from day one, in addition to sucking the Secret Service budget dry and transferring all that taxpayer money into his own personal coffers. This is the most base form of public corruption in recent memory, perhaps in all of US history. Not one more dime of taxpayer money at Trump properties.

The President and his family should not benefit from taxpayer funds, especially when the Secret Service is protecting him and his family,

Yes. It is absurd that the president or his family is profiting off of the presidency while the country is footing the bill. This shouldn't even be an issue because he should have divested. But since it is... if it were a normal person, I would say the government should pay whatever the true cost of goods or services are. But since they are billionaires, and the trumps are literally bankrupting the secret serve, I think there is a strong argument to be made for everything at trump family locations to be provided free.

Why is this even a question? The entire campaign season was designed and orchestrated around the republican candidate professing to be more honest and ethical than every one of his opponents. Yet now we sit and watch important programs being cut from the budget, being eliminated by administrative orders, and to what end? To sit back and watch elected and appointed officials profit at the taxpayers expense?

It's in the constitution that no president while being president should profit from it. Taxpayers money should not be spent on his nor his families businesses.

No elected official should profit from their position.

If this is not a form of money-funneling corruption and profiteering, what is? To claim it is not is purely disingenuous. Don't care if it's a D or an R doing this - it should not be allowed.

Although I would agree we have more important legislation to worry about, this measure fills in where the emoluments clause leaves a hole. The POTUS should not be profiting from our tax funds. Period.
