Lambo,

Why don't you indicate how you think Trump ever violated the Emoluments Clause.

He hasn't.

The Supreme Court dismissed all the bogus cases brought up against him in his first term on standing/mootness grounds.

But guess what?

He's back in office again.

Is CREW or anyone else trying to sue him for violating the Emoluments Clause again?

Why not?

Because it's a waste of time and money and will establish a clear precedent that a President is not prohibited from engaging in legitimate for-profit private business activities while President. Because the Constitution doesn't say that at all.

If you want to claim that it's not real business and you think it's bribes, of course a bribe could possibly be considered an "Emolument" (i.e. a gift), but that would have to be proved in a court of law first before the Emoluments Clause would even come into consideration.
