The Economist': Trump commercial lawsuit suits in progress

Donald Trump is thinking that it's worth being president. Since last November, prices on their properties have increased: the cheapest cocktail at the Trump International Hotel in Washington that was $ 16 now is $ 24. The entrance fee at your Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida - where it hosts dignitaries Foreigners - silently doubled to $ 200,000 in the weeks before its inauguration. 
Mr. Trump visits his own hotels and golf courses about twice a week, increasing his visibility. He is on vacation this month at Trump National Bedminster, a golf club in New Jersey, where he interviewed potential cabinet members after the election. A new "diplomatic sales director" has directed reservations from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to DC's competing hotels for Trump International. In the words of his son Eric Trump, Eric, the family brand is now "more influential than it ever was."
The Economist published an article on Tuesday discussing the conflicts of interest between the president and the businessman Donald Trump and says that there is a strong lawsuit in progress. 
According to the British news the United States constitution seems to be closing the siege of the president who uses his office for personal enrichment in the hands of foreign leaders. 
In recent months, three lawsuits have been filed accusing Trump of violating the patterns of conflicts of interest enshrined in the two "emoluments" clauses of the Constitution. According to one rule, presidents can not receive any payment, other than the salary of the federal government or the states. And in Section I, Section 9, Clause 8 prevents all federal authorities from receiving "any gift, emolument, title or title, of any kind whatsoever" from a foreign country, unless Congress consents. 
Maryland and the District of Columbia sued Trump in June with the support of about 200 members of Congress who say the president needs his approval before receiving foreign money, The Economist says.
