Emoluments are a prime cause for impeachment, but people don't understand what an "emolument" is--perhaps an ingredient in shampoo? We should refer to them as bribes or payoffs.

In the same vein: Did you notice that a company that donated bigly to DT's campaign is set to buy the Chinese company that operates the Panama Canal? Any connection there? Quid pro Quo? Payola? Bribe?

Only one glitch in this scenario: it appears you are assuming our Mental Midget is smart. He’s not. Per Timothy O’Brien of Bloomberg, he can’t even do basic math. O’Brien’s words: "Trump has no concept of anything other than a putter, a cheeseburger, a porn video, and somebody else's credit card."
