I believe most of the raw materials for the Bean Bags come from China.
But, put yourself in his shoes - what would you give a visiting dignitary as a gesture of good will?
I’d do something along the lines of hitting Hollywood up for some prop from a famous movie, or maybe a custom gun/rifle from Red Jacket Firearms, perhaps a custom made pocketknife from an American knife-maker. Perhaps looking into a quality set of tools from Snap-on.
What I would NEVER do, is pull the hare-brained, low-class crap that Zero has pulled. An iPod with his speeches on it? Arrogance on display. A collection of DVDs in a basket? Wow ... what an utter lack of thought that was. “Here’s a credit card, run to Walmart and spend $200-500 on something that says “America””
Or, giving the sons/daughters gifts from the White House Gift Shop. What the H*ll is that noise?
For sons/daughters - how about asking a celebrity to autograph a CD or DVD for them? Or a stock (non-custom) nice pocketknife, or camera for them to record their own trip. A little thought could go a long ways.
Besides, isn’t there a Protocol Agent that could advise you on these matters?
“Besides, isn’t there a Protocol Agent that could advise you on these matters?”
You mean one of his donors or Chicago lackeys he hired?
Naaaahhhhh...
I wouldn’t let anyone in his circle wipe my dog’s butt.
