> Even accepting it in the first place is also odd illegal. That's the word you're looking for. The Constitution is absolutely clear on this: POTUS is not allowed to accept foreign gifts without authorization of Congress. To this day, Trump has neither sought nor received Congressional authorization.

This is the emoluments clause: 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.[5] And the reason they put that there is the obvious one: this is as corrupt as corrupt gets.

    It's extremely clear. As is the cowardice and moral rot of the people in the majority in Congress and the Supreme Court who are supposed to be responsible for upholding the clear meaning of the Constitution.

The gift was to the American people accepted on our behalf by the felon. It is public property that just needs to be declared inoperable when he is out of office so he can't use it illegally.

  No, he needs to get Congressional approval to accept it in the first place. The Emoluments Clause is crystal clear.
