Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said President Trump is "running a criminal enterprise" out of the White House.
During a segment an MSNBC host said Trump is "constantly vacationing to promote his own properties."
"The promotion is extraordinary. There hasn't been a president in my lifetime that's done anything like this," Dean said in response.
"In the beginning, the constitutional business about the emoluments clause, which is you're not supposed to take foreign money to influence your policy, it didn't bother me, I thought it was a far-flung argument — I'm not an attorney."
But Dean said it is clear that Trump or his staff are "shaking down foreign governments who have moved their events to his hotel in Washington at somebody's request in order to get favors."

I think Dean misspelled “ruining”. That’s what Trump is doing: ruining the existing criminal enterprise out of the White House.
Oh shut up, you useless waste of skin.
Emolulents clause refers to titles of nobility. Shows just how much they know about the Constitution.
[The entire Democrat party is a criminal enterprise!...................]
Yes they are. Complete pathological liars.
Well, it worked soooo well for the Lying Kenyan Usurper.
It is incredulous that Democrat leaders speak uncontrollably using inflammatory words that only foment lies and violence, whilst complaining about our President’s tweets based on factual events their media won’t report to the American people. They are not statesmen or Americans, they are 20th Century Communists.
Run, Howard, run!
Is Dean getting help for his paranoid delusions? Or maybe he thinks Hillary is President?
Raw meat for the true believers.
Well.. what this means is Obama was the one running a criminal enterprise out of the White House.
They continue to tell us what skeletons are in their closets every time they accuse Trump of something.
But, "carbon credits and offsets" are there to save Gaia!
Latest dem talking points. His properties. Vacationing Playing golf.
There’s never been a businessman in the hospitality/entertainment industry in office. The closest was Harry Truman (Give’Em Hell Harry), who had been a part owner of a men’s clothing store years before his political career. Donald J. (Kick Asses, Take Names) Trump is unique.
Dean should run in 2020.
Why make this spurious accusation? To keep libs hopes up? Signals to Mueller? I don’t get it.
If Mueller could prove Trump somehow “enriched” himself, every congresscrony who entered congress poor and left 10 years later a millionaire would be under scrutiny forever. Congress as a money-making enterprise shuts down.
Also, The Hill comments section is at a frightening level of stupidity.
Howie Dean is an idiot.
Another case of Trump Derangement Syndrome just diagnosed.
Exactly what I was thinking. Also, I think he needs to keep running his mouth — and run against Trump in 2020. :-)
And, he eventually got whipped by the USSC for an illegal takings bill (for bike paths) when he was a state legislator.
Where’s the infarction fairy when you need her???
