It was just decorum putting assets in trusts for prez, modern era laws did restrict other officials to some degree.

In 2016 the Republicans just refused to honor those laws and nobody held them to account, now they are not really bothering to pretend. Open corruption.

The Constitution does forbid emoluments, but that is ignored by our captured (in)justice department.
