WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump expressed concern that his wife, Melania, may now be aware of what he got her for Christmas after news reports surfaced that the U.S. military had seized a Venezuelan oil tanker this week.
When the story broke, Trump reportedly scolded White House staff for potentially spoiling the surprise that he was giving his wife the one-of-a-kind gift of a seized tanker filled with crude oil.
"I hate to think the surprise is ruined," Trump told friends. "I know she would love to have opened that tanker on Christmas morning and have it be a big surprise. I was going to put it out on the lawn of the White House with a big red bow. Helicopters would have flown it in. It would've been amazing to see, believe me. Melania has never expressed interest in owning one of these, but I know she'd love it."
Trump ordered the capture of the vessel, with sources close to the President saying he was planning on gifting it to his wife this year for Christmas. He reportedly tried to keep the seizure secret, but the information was somehow leaked to the press.
"Now I have to try to think of something else," he reportedly said. "Can you believe it? Such a great surprise ruined. I wonder if she'd like one of those blankets that look like a tortilla. Those really are something."
At publishing time, Trump was seen frantically shopping at the local Walgreens to find a last-minute replacement gift for his wife.

Bee has gone full retaaard.
That Trump is a hopeless romantic. My wife would be sooo impressed if I could get her one of those. She’d be taking selfies and stuff.
Tortilla blanket as plan B is why he’s president. At that level you gotta think several moves ahead.
Haha - kinda funny until they overdo it with the part about flying “Skipper” in with a helicopter. That sucker is over 1000 ft. long. & its weight loaded would be over 2.3 million tons.
“Just what I’ve always wanted! How did you know?”
Definitely not one of their better efforts!
I agree. They should have said "drone" instead.
