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

[proust]

So where does this waste go?

[Vaduz]

Obama kicks dog and slaps kids.

[going hot]

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!

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly!

Very impressive though.

Obama probably got a pewter lug wrench.

[JayGalt]

Did we reciprocate?

FReepers, it's time to get serious about retiring this FReep-a-thon.

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.

[Red Steel]

So what did Obama get for this Chicago double wide? A bag of peanuts and a hookah crack pipe?

[mountainlion]

Aren’t these gifts the property of the US since they they were accepted as the President?

[TheDon]

Looks like the king has taken a liking to President Trump.

[Ted Grant]

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

[howlinhound]

What! No concubines!!!

[VRWC For Truth]

Bammy got a gold plated butt plug ...

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Unlike Hillary Clinton, President Trump and First Lady Melania will NOT be heisting these National Treasures when they leave the White House in 2025.

[Diplomat]

Just proves all prior presidents in our lifetime were already bought and paid for by the saudis.
Trumps Library is going to have lots of bling in it!

[Ellendra]

Correct me if my interpretation of Saudi culture is wrong, but it looks to me like the house of Saud is scared spitless and trying to earn their way into Trump’s good graces.

[husky ed]

Hil's probably drinking herself into a stupor thinking about what she could have had 😂😆

Our dollars bought Saudi / OPEC oil and they recycle it as swag back to us to display in museums.

I would have rather saved a few shekels on my gasoline purchases in the first place.

[Uncle Sam 911]

These items go to the Smithsonian, not to Trump. Relax media.

[Uncle Sam 911]

Remember Obama’s first visit to Queen Elizabeth when he gave her a suitcase full of DVDs that play on North American tv systems, not European? The British media was quick to note the Queen could have gone down the street to any London video store for the same videos.
