I forgot to add, that if a foreign government pays for the use of one of his properties, it could also be potentially unconstitutional thanks to Article 1, Section 9, which prevents foreign emoluments for all elected officials. Congress can provide permission for those, however. But there is no such stipulation for Congress to approve the emoluments from the federal or state governments.
