...to participate in his fucking fantasy austerity "department." There are like 14 billionaires in this cabinet who ain't giving up shit when it comes to their outside interests, so why do emoluments/conflicts matter in this ONE case and no other?

Back when Trump was "elected" in 2016, the very first thing the GOP did was dismiss the emoluments clause so he could take office. I knew in that very instant that was just the beginning of all this precedent-breaking, norm-destroying bullshit, and it's only snowballed from there.
