That’s right folks!
Trump just got another big win against the Democrats!
A federal appeals court just dismissed a lawsuit by congressional Democrats that claimed Trump violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by refusing lawmakers to review and approve his financial interests.
The ruling is a major triumph for the President, who’s intensely sought to keep his business affairs in private, just days after the Republican-held Senate voted to acquit him on impeachment charges for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The case’s dismissal effectively kneecaps one of several attempts Democrats have made to dig up more information about Trump’s business holdings.
Before Friday’s ruling the lawsuit was paused [1] just as Democrats began subpoenaing the Trump Organization.
This emoluments case was one of three ongoing constitutional challenges to Trump and his business, alleging that the President is violating the anti-corruption emoluments clause. Two other emoluments cases attack Trump for his alleged competitive advantage at the Trump-branded real estate empire. Those cases are still moving through the court system. [CNN [2]]

This is yet another victory for President Trump that comes right on the heels of his acquittal in the sham impeachment.
Its surprising that Democrats can still stand after taking one gut-punch after another from our president.
