All legal business dealings under the global Trump brand. Earnings to include foreign reported per the Ethics in Government Act and dontated to U.S. Treasury Department. You don't have to stop being a business man once elected President unless Congress determines otherwise. However, there are zero court rulings that interpret the scope of Emoluments Clause, only justice department, GAO, and GSA opinions. All state Trump is compliant and commercial transactions as part of a business do not fall under emoluments. Hence, you have heard barely a squeak since he took office except by other businesses that filed suit because they can't compete.

I view your words as a lot of special pleading against the general principle that a person with so much discretionary power over tax dollars should not be able to self-deal.  
I wonder if Hillary had won, you would come on here and defend her doing similar stuff through her family's "charity."

I read about that press conference. You don't think Hillary's people would have done a similar press conference? "We investigated ourselves and found nothing"?
