Trump blames 'phony emoluments clause' for scrapped plan to host G-7 at his Miami resort
Yes, even though Trump claims it is not there the Emoluments Clause is very real:
Title of Nobility Clause - Wikipedia
"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.[4]"
He backed down on this because even the Republicans knew that deal stank to high heaven.
