Under US law it's probably not illegal given the way trump has framed it, hence why they're not saying it was. It would be too easy to dismiss their criticism if they got such a basic technicality wrong. Side note but I don't know of a relevant international law or treaty preventing this situation either, prior to the orange jackass this wasn't something people considered a concern.

This is the classic Trump playbook. He looks at shit people wouldn't think of doing since most people are decent human beings and then exploits it.

If he was a basketball coach he'd send his team out with baseball bats because technically there is no written out rule you can't bring in bats onto the court...

It's how he's manage to dismantle so much of our society and decorum.

He's just cancer in human form.
