In reality the Emoluments Clause does not apply to retired military personnel.

“since 1906, there have been at least six federal officers who have accepted the (Nobel) Prize while serving in their elected or appointed offices. The Peace Prize has been received by two other sitting Presidents — Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson — by a sitting Vice President, Secretary of State, Senator, and by a retired General of the Army.”

It's kind of funny that, at the end of the day, "muh russians" has had to take their targets off of trump and instead are shooting for someone who Trump *fired* for lying.
