President Trump on Monday defended the initial decision to host next year’s G-7 summit at his golf resort near Miami, dismissing concerns that he would have personally profited from the event, and deriding “this phony Emoluments Clause” in the Constitution.
Mulvaney last Thursday said the resort, one of Trump’s most valuable properties, would have hosted the three-day summit in June “at cost.” Democrats weren’t the only ones raising concerns that the plan would have violated the Emoluments Clause, which prohibits government officials from receiving gifts or payments from foreign governments.
Trump then wondered aloud why there was no uproar when former President Barack Obama signed deals for book and television projects.
