Of course President Trump doesn't actually get to keep this swag.

Seeing as how he is the President of the people, stands to reason that load of stuff should go to the people as well.
I got dibs on the pure gold sword!

To quote the Congressional Research Service:
“A tangible gift to the President, Vice President, or their family members of more than minimal value accepted for reasons of protocol or courtesy may not be kept as a personal gift. These gifts are considered accepted on behalf of and property of the United States, and in the case of such a gift for the President or the President’s family, is handled by the National Archives and Records Administration.”
. . . These gifts are usually eventually transferred to the Presidential Library of the President who received them.

So what did Obama get for this Chicago double wide? A bag of peanuts and a hookah crack pipe?
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Aren’t these gifts the property of the US since they they were accepted as the President?

According to a document from the Congressional Research Service gifts from foreign governments aren't actually property of the president. The document states: 'A tangible gift of more than minimal value accepted for reasons of protocol or courtesy may not be kept as a personal gift, however, but is considered accepted on behalf of and property of the United States, and in the case of such a gift for the President or the President's family, is handled by the National Archives and Records Administration'.

I have a feeling that the dollar figure is very inflated.
