So I thought maybe we could run through those because I'm wondering if the investments in Trump Incorporated are counting towards the trillion that he's trying to get for us or whether it will all be him.

Okay, okay.

Okay, okay.

Okay, okay.

Sorry, $400 million.

Sorry, $400 million.

Sorry, $400 million.

I think it's worth pausing here because I think things have been so wild that we kind of passed over what is precedent in terms of just what we have learned normalized for a president's business holding. So there is this part of the constitution, which we sometimes forget to think about. It's called the emoluments clause. Okay. It's a provision of the constitution.

And it basically says that federal office holders cannot receive any gift or payment or other thing of value from a foreign state or officer. And this idea is that It started in the 1700s when, you know, you got Benjamin Franklin over there accepting a snuff box from the King of France. You've got John Jay.

He brings a horse home from Spain and everyone's like, oh, this is going to be a problem because if foreign governments are giving federal officials things, there is either the appearance of bribery or overt or subconscious favor being bestowed upon these foreign governments. So, for example, you know, maybe it's a horse, maybe it's a snuff box, maybe it's a $450 million jet.

So this exists in the constitution. Separate from that, from the foreign piece, there is this idea that presidents have always done, which is basically divest their personal business while they're in office for the same reason. So Carter puts his farm in a blind trust. Everybody puts their investments, who is a president, in a blind trust so they can neither sell

see what they're invested in, nor see people that are benefiting their own personal business. So there isn't the appearance of impropriety. Trump has not done this. Opposite. At all. He's done quite the opposite. So the crypto thing you brought up, this is crypto that he called, quote, a haven for drug dealers and scammers.
