The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit filed by Maryland and D.C. alleging that President Trump is violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, finding that they did not have the standing to sue the president.

The ruling is a major win for Trump, who has frequently sought to prevent others from reviewing his private financial records.

A case that should never have been heard in a court room. The Constitution is clear on this.

I always thought it was funny to hear liberals parrot back their shock about Trump violating the “emoluments” clause.

It was clear that these people had no idea there is such a clause in the constitution, But if it could be used against Trump, they were all in, even though they don’t even know what “emoluments” means.

“The ruling is a major win for Trump, who has frequently sought to prevent others from reviewing his private financial records.“

The real battle on this is NY where it’s a race to get the Tax records re-sealed before the Rat SOS feeds the info to the Rats in the House.

That was their last real hope of getting rid of Trump. Everybody help me raise money for Trump’s 2020 campaign. I believe we can raise $1,000,000 just from us.

Yep, if there’s anything liberals even suspect they can use against President Trump, they’ll try it.

Shameful that the president has to use vital resources because these pr##ks in the house are using our money and resources instead of doing their dam jobs

POTUS Trump is the only Politician in Washington D.C. who will leave Office with less money than when he arrived.

The Democrats, Liberals and Never Trumpers are doing everything they can do to punish him for the Sin of Winning the 2016 Presidential Election.

If it means ruining him and his Family financially and attacking his entire Family while tearing down his Life’s Accomplishments, they are all in.

Awesome....This was another one of the Dems vindictive, annoying lawsuits. No President has EVER been treated like this.

I predict we will get the House back, get 60 in the Senate and retain the Whitehouse.

No President has done so much in such a short period of time.

Thank you Mr. President, Melania and your families for your sacrifices.
