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 .

This is a actually a pretty narrow prohibition. Has Trump accepted any payment from any foreign STATE?

I think they’re pushing that distinction. The claim, IIRC, is that foreign *dignitaries* book at Trump properties in order to influence him.

After the inauguration, Trump declared all PROFITS from foreigners renting his properties are to be donated to the US Treasury.

All I recall and it may not be 100% accurate.
