I made the mistake of switching to MSNBC for a moment tonight. The commentator was going on at length about how Donald Trump may have conflicts of interest or may receive bribes from foreign governments in the form a breaks given to Trump projects in particular countries. The commentator explained that such bribes would be banned by the Constitution.
This was a weird thing to watch. We just completed a campaign in which the Democrats ran a candidate who took tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and businesses while those governments and businesses had matters pending with the State Department. MSNBC was basically quiet about the entire Clinton matter. So the network was silent about thing that actually happened, but it is nearly apoplectic about something that could happen in the future with Trump but for which we have no reason to expect it to actually occur.
