Looks good.

FWIW, "emoluments" is technically not a neologism, because the word is quite old, appearing in the US Constitution. However, the word has become much more common in news articles and the like, due to frequent charges that Trump's not divesting himself of his hotels, resorts and other properties is a violation of the constitutional provisions regarding emoluments. My perspective on "neologisms" is that the term should not refer exclusively to "new words" but also to words which have suddenly become popular, whether they previously existed or not.
