President Donald Trump announced Monday that he had located a gold-painted golf club given to him by the late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe — one of dozens of presents from foreign leaders sought by House Democrats.
“I am pleased to report that after a search, we were able to find the gold (paint!) Driver given to me by my friend & former Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe,” Trump, 76, announced on his Truth Social platform.
“It was in a locker, with other clubs, at Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach County, Florida. It has never been used,” he added.
“Based on the fact that this club was given to me before entering office, I am told that there are no reporting requirements, but I am nevertheless forwarding it to [the National Archives]. My company buys thousands of clubs a year!”
The $3,755 driver was one of three clubs Abe, who was assassinated July 8 of last year, presented to Trump, along with another $3,040 driver and a $460 putter.
The golden club was received in November 2016, but the S-Yard red driver and Bettinardi putter were apparently given during visits Abe made during Trump’s time in the Oval Office.
Federal officials by law cannot keep personal gifts that are worth more than $415 and are given by foreign governments. These are often taken and stored by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

They will get Trump on this one! Skip the grand jury and go straight to the indictment.
Gold Comm.
...Until the RATS make up another ex-post-facto law and gather yet another grand jury.
I’m pretty sure that golden club isn’t painted gold——
Use it to club the ‘Rats when they misbehave.
What about a spent U club?
Trump should learn to keep his mouth shut. He just handed the demonicrats a reason to prosecute him for some silly reason.
The second you start hiding from liberals, they have won. Stand in their face and punch them in the nose!
Don’t get TDS on us now.
BEAUTIFUL TRADITIONAL JAPANESE “AIZU” LACQUER DESIGN
lacquer = paint.
They’d do that even if he did keep quiet.
Then one of you backstabbing mofos would say he was hiding it and prosecute him for that. Get out of here.
$4,950!!!!! For a club! Wow.
Now if he could only find the Hattori Hanzo sword he was given.
It might be gold, but it ain’t no Billie Baroo.
Indeed!!
There’s an infestation. :-(
He might need that one later, after he puts down the baseball bat.
Going after a president that took no salary for nickle and dime gifts is so.... petty and Democrat.
