Sen Warnock: And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

The White House meetings. When Trump gets pissy, pull it out and give him a plane.
