Technically it would be emolument. Luckily, there is an emoluments clause in the constitution, (Article I, Section 9, Paragraph 8) which explains that the president isn’t allowed to accept emoluments from foreign powers while in office. And the man just told on himself on Twitter.
If only SCOTUS hadn't ruled that the emoluments clause is moot.
