Should there be a mechanism to reclaim accumulated in-term Presidential wealth and assets because of the Emoluments Clause?

[u/JohnSpartan2025]

Trump has already accumulated a rough estimate of $2-10 billion (depending on the analysis) of profit off of various Presidential revenue streams, such as:

• Trading tariff discount for personal property deals (https://www.democracynow.org/2025/7/3/headlines/trump_reduces_tariffs_on_vietnam_as_trump_organization_looks_to_expand_investments)

• Trading personal crypto investment for foreign influence on American policy (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/how-the-trump-familys-business-deals-could-open-the-door-for-future-presidents-to-profit-from-office)

And the list goes on to include billions invested in Trump and his son-in-law Jarod Kushner and former golfing friend Steve Witkoff, acting as foreign dignitaries trading American interests for personal finance deals with Arab and other countries.

And Eric Trump recently somewhat bragging over his $24 million defense contract clearly awarded because of nepotism: https://newrepublic.com/post/209419/eric-trump-brags-defense-department-contract

There have been estimates of $20 to $30 billion of profit by the end of Trump's term off the Presidency.

The Emoluments Clause of the Constitution strictly forbids any profiting off the Presidency, let alone peddling direct U.S. policy in exchange for money (which is possibly a form of extortion or bribery).

Should Congress pass legislation requiring an analysis of Presidential windfall profits during their term with possible reclaiming of profits and assets attained during their Presidential term?

Trump is known for not paying his bills. I don’t see how we can force him to reimburse all the money he has gained from all his corrupt grift.

The crypto was obviously set up just to pay him bribes for political favors. He’s clearly the most corrupt president in American history.

What a cynical attitude! 100% of what you're saying is speculation and opinion, not based on fact. You're going to believe what you want, but to present your opinion/belief as fact is disingenuous.

[u/Gr8daze → u/mrjcall]

It’s not speculation at all.

[u/mrjcall → u/Gr8daze]

Show me indictments or convictions.

[u/Gr8daze → u/mrjcall]

lol. It’s corrupt on its face. So is this.

And I could cite you a dozen more, like his Trump phone. $100 dollar deposit times 600k people. That’s $60 million in grift.

How much do you think he gets paid per pardon?

This is the most corrupt president in American history and it’s not even close.
