“Pay Trump bribes here,” read the lettering above the Trump International Hotel last night, with an arrow pointing to the entrance. “Emoluments welcome.”

Local artist Robin Bell struck again, projecting the series of images last night around 9:15 p.m., along with the emoluments clause in its entirety. That would be the part of the Constitution that prohibits politicians in office from profiting from foreign governments:

“No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

“This is a really clear cut example of the laws being broken,” Bell says. “Emoluments is a hard word to understand. But [the visuals] just worked really well. It just made sense to do it.”

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington alleges that when the hotel and other Trump-owned properties take payments from foreign governments, it violates the clause. The government watchdog group filed a lawsuit in federal court immediately after Trump took office, which is still making its way through the system (another lawsuit, from D.C.’s Cork Wine Bar, claims unfair competition specifically from the Trump hotel).

While Trump retains an ownership stake, his son has taken over day-to-day operations of the hotel. The General Services Administration has said that puts the president in compliance with the lease at the Old Post Office Pavilion, which is owned by the federal government.

Meanwhile, the hotel has routinely become a place of protest, with scenes and signs and shouts of “shame” taking place just as often outside 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

This isn’t even the first time that Bell has left an ephemeral mark on the building; it’s his fifth. It all started at the end of November, when he and several other folks projected the message “Experts Agree: Trump is a Pig” on to the front of the building (a reference to the late 1980s campaign by the activist group Positive Force declaring the same of Reagan’s attorney general, Edwin Meese).

“We’re following in this legacy of badass activism,” he told DCist at the time.

Bell has wielded his projector pretty prolifically. His efforts date well before Trump’s presidency, with messages of support for Black Lives Matter and poop emojis in opposition to a new Subway in Mount Pleasant, illuminations in support of abortion rights on the Supreme Court building, and projections highlighting labor rights on the World Bank building. But he’s really hit a stride in recent months, from elaborate displays on the EPA’s building against Myron Ebell to the bold and simple: IM, surrounded by a peach.

“One of the things about the projections is it brings people together on the street if they see them,” Bell says. “It’s great that it’s being talked about and that people are enjoying the moment, talking about these issues.”

As for his latest projection on the Trump hotel, it stayed up for about 10 minutes. But he’s been been thinking about how exactly to bring the emoluments message to the hotel for about a month.

“As an artist right now there’s so much to work on and figure out and explain.” Bell says. “I definitely shy away from ‘Trump is stupid.’ No, he’s breaking the law. That’s clear, I don’t need to embellish.”
