What the Left wants to do, is take all of Trump’s assets away.
This judge is allowing himself to be played as a stooge.
Lately they have had to dig pretty deep into their bag of tricks. None of them are working against this President.
MAGA!
The “judge” is a corrupt Clinton hack.
Give them redacted records ...
This would pretty much ban any businessman who does business overseas from running for President. The only people who would be left with the wherewithal to run would be lawyers, career politicians or career government administrators, i.e. the Deep State.
” … 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.”
The controversy is “emolument.” Under a definition by Lawrence Tribe, any President who is owner or part owner of a business (shareholder), or who receives royalty payments from the sale of books, or in any other way receives money from a foreign power, even in a non-discriminatory, fair, competitive and open transaction has violated the emolument clause. Professor Tribe only invented this AFTER Trump was elected president, probably because he suffers Trump derangement syndrome.
To investigate the meaning of the emoluments clause from opinions expressed PRIOR to Trump, see the following:

In particular:
“Much of the above discussion may ultimately prove to be ‘academic,’ as it is unlikely that, should an appointment and/or confirmation in violation of the Emoluments Clause occur, anyone would have the requisite constitutional standing to bring a lawsuit challenging the action as unconstitutional.”
The frame of the Constitution envisions the Congress to act, not any Tom, Dick or Harry that imagines it has been offended. The Congress has plenty of power with which to restrain the Executive, including impeachment. There is precedent from the Supreme Court on this as discussed in the source, notwithstanding the ruling of the District Court judge.
Discovery should be very interesting.
