Emoluments

It's weird how the word "emoluments" has completely disappeared from the discourse even as the President is openly courting corrupt deals to enrich himself.

The New York Times story behind that link (about how Trump is giving the UAE our country's cutting edge chip technology in return for the country paying off Trump for her personal enrichment) is very detailed. You'd just think that the fact that the Constitution specifically forbids the President from doing this would be fit to print.
