For over a decade Trump has been fighting and loosing every time over Trademarking his name "Trump" in China because a Chinese businessman already did.
Just as if someone here in America was smart enough to do so before NIKE or buy NIKE.COM
Trump, rather than buy the name, fought it in court for over 10 years, loosing every time. Then Trump became a candidate for President. PART of his platform was attacking China for currency manipulation. The SAME country that has denied his trademark appeal for a decade...
Trump also stated as a candidate he wasn't sold on the "One China policy" which does not view Taiwan as independent...
Magically just as Trump was to become president Trump supported the "One China Policy" (a reversal from his campaign)... then China with no explanation changed its constant, decade long year after year decisions, and awarded Trump a trademark to his name for buildings opening the door for Trump to use his name such as selling the rights to put his name on buildings ... a change worth over $100 MILLION in potential revenue easily.
But now this has Trump receiving compensation from a foreign country which is a violation of The Emoluments Clause of the constitution. Apparently Trump gets his own set of rules to play by... China knows this and no more tough talk regarding tariffs or currency manipulation has been spoken by Trump.
Many legal experts state not only is this a clear and direct violation of the Emoluments Clause, but a PAY FOR PLAY by China as they will clearly be expecting something in return from Trump... That is, unless you think China randomly did this...
