Donald Trump used his mighty Twitter platform to attract service for his golf course in Los Angeles on Sunday. U.S. deaths from COVID-19 inched closer 80,000, but the president didn’t tweet about that.
So fantastic to see our Nation beginning to open again! https://t.co/ceXFk4iWBX

Critics were appalled. Besides demonstrating an astonishing absence of sensitivity, Trump’s post highlighted his continuing dispute of interest issues.
No tests are readily available for us. No tracing is being executed. You have done nothing to make it safe for us to go out. The virus has actually killed 80,125 individuals up until now, 2000 more will be dead by tomorrow. By all methods promote your golf course

Again, Trump is pimping his personal services in his capacity as POTUS, a clear Emolument Stipulation offense, if not just a simple example of his rank corruption.
