Is Trump planning on regifting the gifts from foreign leaders?

The Trump administration left office without providing the State Department with an accounting of the gifts  that Trump, Pence and other White House officials received from foreign governments in 2020. Under federal law, each government department and agency is legally required to submit a list to the State Department of gifts over $415 its officials received from foreign governments. The measure is intended to ensure that foreign governments do not gain undue influence over American officials. So what I think happened is Trump found a loophole in that federal law that allows him to not claim gifts if he is planning on regifting them. Or Trump and his people figure rules and laws don't apply to them as long as they don't get caught. Included a link to more info. Cheers and happy weekend!

    He's going to sell them so he can pay his lawyers (or, more likely, keep the money).

    Probably except for that soccer ball he got from Putin. Trump probably drew a pair of pouty lips on it and he still sleeps with it to this day. Cheers and happy weekend!

    You're probably right.
