the Emoluments Clause.
Which reads:
“No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: 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.”

So... help me out here. How does, 'stay at my place on the other side of the island' violate this clause exactly?

Certainly you are not actually suggesting that paying for a hotel room is the same as accepting gifts from foreign nationals...
The Domestic Emoluments Clause
Which has nothing to do with Ireland...

I am also unsure of any State, or the US as a whole, giving him emoluments above the salary.

So, again, help me out here. Cause you are not making your stance very clear.
The foreign emoluments clause - the only one you were aware existed presumably - applies when he directs foreign business to his hotels, the domestic clause applies when he directs federal revenue to his hotels. He profits from his hotels.
/chuckle.

Carrying water for Spudoc, that's nice of you.

Unfortunately, unless there is evidence that the fees these people are paying are somehow higher than the room fee and the excess is funneling to Trump- you really don't have much of a leg to stand on here. But keep hoping...

Keep hoping.

In my humble opinion scientist need to start asking 'should we' and not just 'can we'.

When U.S. President Donald Trump signed the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act on Tuesday, it included a provision sponsored by Senate Seapower Subcommittee Chairman Roger Wicker and his House counterpart, Rep. Rob Wittman, that calls for the country to build up to 355 ships “as soon as practicable.”

The provision is contingent on the requisite appropriations, which means it’s anything but a sure bet.

“With his signature, President Trump has confirmed the United States’ resolve to meet the growing needs of our U.S. Navy,” Wicker said in a statement. “Building up our nation’s fleet is essential to protecting our national security and projecting American power around the globe.

Funds for Navy Repair Facilities, European Defense Initiative Shifted to Border Wall

Navy repair facilities in Virginia and Washington State, planned port improvements for U.S. ships in Spain and a new treatment center for working dogs in Guantanamo Bay are among the military construction projects that will have their funds rerouted to build $3.6 billion in barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border.

On Tuesday, Secretary of the Defense Mark Esper presented Congress a list of 127 military construction projects at U.S. and overseas bases that would have funding deferred to build additional border barriers.

Esper “has determined that such construction projects are necessary to support the use of the armed forces, and, therefore, DOD will undertake 11 border barrier military construction projects on the southern border pursuant to section 2808 of Title X, U.S. Code,” according to Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman.

The funds will be transferred to the Army Corps of Engineers, which will oversee the construction of a total of 175 miles of border barriers.


For the Navy, projects being postponed to pay for the border barrier include $88.9 million for a submarine pier and maintenance facility at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. That upgrade project would allow all three Seawolf-class nuclear attack submarines to be homeported in Washington, Rep. Derek Kilmer (D-Wash.) told The Seattle Times in March.

In Virginia, the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth would lose $26.1 million for a new ship maintenance facility and $22.5 million for a hazardous materials warehouse.

The shipyard is in the midst of a glut of work to repair the East Coast’s nuclear aircraft carriers and submarines with infrastructure that’s more than a century old. Refurbishing the yard has been a major focus of Naval Sea Systems Command as the Navy has struggled to catch up with almost two decades of deferred maintenance.

“Pulling funding from the military makes our nation less safe and more vulnerable,” Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.) said in a statement. “Peak military readiness, critical modernization projects, and disaster recovery are top national security priorities in Hampton Roads and beyond.”

NAVSEA referred all questions to the Office of the Secretary of Defense when contacted by USNI News on Wednesday.

In North Carolina, Marines will have to defer the construction of a $25.5-million facility at Camp Lejeune for a signals intelligence and electronic warfare unit. Under a previous effort from former commandant Gen. Robert Neller, the Marines have pushed to increase the service’s capabilities in those areas.

Overseas, the deferments have targeted $26.3 million for a fleet maintenance facility in Bahrain. The headquarters of U.S. 5th Fleet there will become a forward hub for the Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship fleet in the coming years.

In Rota, Spain, $21.6 million for port operations facilities as part of the Pentagon’s European Deterrence Initiative is being deferred. Rota is home to four U.S. guided-missile destroyers that are a key component of the ballistic missile defense plan in the region. $66 million in EDI funds for P-8A Poseidon airfield upgrades at Naval Air Station Sigonella, Italy, and $47 million in facilities at Souda Bay, Greece, have also been tapped for barrier funds.

The list also includes $9.08 million for a replacement to the working dog treatment facility at Naval Station Guantanamo, Cuba.

How come I doubt tRump was studying NOAA spaghetti models a week out from possible landfall. I know that I have been listening and watching all things Dorian related for over a week and never once did I hear the words Alabama.

You do understand that there are scores of models, right?

Stop falling for the fake news, you dupe
You realize Trump tweeted his Alabama bullshit on September 1st and your model is from August 28th right? You think the President was basing his hurricane on 5 day old information when anyone with a cell phone can get the most up to date model instantly? You are full of horseshit

So he mistakenly used a dated model. BFD.

Of course, he's the one making a bigger deal out of it now.
Thank god he canceled his Poland trip so he could keep us safe using week old models of a hurricane track. #BikerTrumpCuck
