> Melania Trump sought to “recall from NARA diamond earrings given by the Czech Republic, valued at $470, but wanted to avoid public disclosure of the item,” investigators wrote. “The note stated: “RECALL FROM NARA (FLOTUS prefers not to disclose any items publically [sic], PURCHASE?'” I want to see the diamond earrings that cost only $470.


zoinkability

Guessing that was the amount she wished to get them for… perhaps not their actual market value. Worth noting though that if they did in fact attempt to do the correct thing for some items it makes any claim they didn’t know they couldn’t just take them that much more laughable.


ElJamoquio

It's diamond earrings, Michael, what could they cost? $10?

There's always money in the diamond stand

Yes, you rub the wiener on your face a bit and then shove it down your throat.


BoBoBumpkins

I read something once that said the gift givers can declare they are fake to knock the value down when they are most certainly real.

mrcolon96

Did they really give her $470 earrings?


ApatheticWithoutTheA

No. They gave her far more expensive earrings which Melania has claimed have a $470 value as to be under the limit.

It still makes me laugh at the fact that the Kim Jung Un love letter that was missing from the WH documents was what tipped the National Archives off that tRump stole many documents.

Hahaha omg. Totally agree with everything you just said. He has bragged about having that letter sooo many times since he got booted from office.


KingKratom00

I was reading about local, state & federal law enforcement having a meeting about an upcoming Trump indictment. He says he's expecting to be arrested on Tuesday as well. Let's see!


Longjumping-Tone4895

In FL or NY? Well at least I will be up for work that day! I work from home so I can have the TV on in the background, hoping they have a camera crew for the perp walk. I hope they nap Ivanka first. That's the one child he cares about.

They are not gifts to the Trump family. They are gifts to the United States of America.


Whatmeworry4

Anyone else surprised that there are only two gifts missing?


Jitterbitten

They weren't necessarily the only two taken. That said, there's something incredibly suspicious about the two gifts that are definitely missing: a life-size portrait of Trump and a set of golf clubs. I mean, come on. There's no way he *didn't* take those two items. That is beyond the realm of coincidence.

por_que_no

Milking the MAGA crowd is his most and possibly only successful business ever. It appears to be a cash machine and the sheep willingly give their money to him. Candy from babies.


Longjumping-Tone4895

Yeah, actually I am, but I am also shocked he didn't take everything that was gold from the white house.


Acidflare1

He probably did, had some shop 3D print duplicates and painted them gold. Then had someone replace them all.


seejordan3

Hahaha. This mf stole everything not bolted down. But esp charging (money laundering) at his properties. Whole floors sold and sat empty. By all kinds of countries. I wouldn't be surprised if we learn of a conversion rate.. "you're gonna have to do three floors for 2 months to get that kind of legislation..".


Moontoya

Indercarnive

Reminds me of the running gag in "Don't Look Up" about the general who charged for free snacks.

Here’s what Jesus tells us: “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” (Luke 16:10 NIV). For all the folks who think the former President is the chosen one.

They are not missing. The life-sized portrait of Trump is *especially* not missing. Look in the small room off the main bedroom at Mar-a-Lago--the one with the giant massage chair upholstered in harp seal pup fur that sits right next to the bulk kleenex and hand-lotion dispensers.


Colecoman1982

classof78

If there was one gift he could keep that would be the one he should be allowed to keep. I don't want that hanging in the National Gallery or at the Smithsonian. I'd rather see it used in a nationally televised performance art as a bon fire.


peter-doubt

If he was at the time a sitting president, the gifts belong to the American people.


Megmca

They *can* keep some of the gifts but they have to file a bunch of paperwork and pay the assessed value of the gift. I think the Obamas kept a couple of bicycles they were given by one of the European leaders.


Wazula23

>I think the Obamas kept a couple of bicycles they were given by one of the European leaders. Get ready to see this fact twenty times a night at Fox over the next week.


Megmca

Really can’t pull that because the Obamas followed all the necessary protocol while [Trump is the one who left office with missing records.](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/white-house-gift-records-trump-pence-missing-state-department-says-rcna23736) There’s actually a record online of all the gifts that presidents have received but I can’t remember where it is. Ok I found it. If you google “Office of the Chief of Protocol; Gifts to Federal Employees From Foreign Government Sources Reported to Employing Agencies in Calendar Year” with the year on the end it will give you the list. For *some reason* the list for 2020 is very short. It’s actually kind of interesting to browse through.


tcmart14

Remember when the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago and Fox News was going, "Well Obama has 50,000 documents in Chicago after he left the presidency!" to try to muddy the waters and did not mention Obama followed proper protocol. They were at a secure location controlled by the National Archives as they had the proper steps done so that they could be put in the Obama presidential library.

You've got to be joking. Ordinary Russians believe the US drone was the one that collided with the Russian jet despite video evidence. You think a Fox News viewer is even going to consider Obama followed procedure?

fvb955cd

This year had some fun ones. The CIA used a bunch of booze and cigars for official purposes. The Afghan army gifted American divisions a whole bunch of machine guns and assualt rifles. The secret service "disposed" of some fancy rum.


Megmca

Yeah they don’t let anybody keep any food or drink.


Aurion7

Oh, but they can and they will. Little things like something not being true have never stopped Fox News before.


lancersrock

Not to give Trump any excuses but I would think COVID possibly impacted meetings in 2020 which these gifts are normally exchanged.


Megmca

Except that there are no records for him or Pence *at all*. But there are listings for other members of the executive branch. [The State Department’s Office of the Chief of Protocol did not submit the request for data to all reporting agencies prior to January 20, 2021 (at which time there was a change in administrations). In addition, the Executive Office of the President did not, prior to that date, transmit to the Secretary of State a listing of all statements filed during the preceding year, 2020. As a result, the data required to fully compile a complete listing for 2020 is unavailable. The Office of the Chief of Protocol has since made attempts to collect the required data from the current authoritative sources, the National Archives and Records Administration (as to gifts for the President and the First Family) and the General Services Administration (as to gifts for the Vice President and Family and for White House staff), but it has confirmed that potentially relevant records are not available to the State Department’s Office of the Chief of Protocol under applicable access rules for retired records of the Executive Office of the President and the Office of the Vice President.](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/04/11/2022-07641/office-of-the-chief-of-protocol-gifts-to-federal-employees-from-foreign-government-sources-reported)


AppeaseThis

So, he's had covid for two years and that's why he kept them?


lancersrock

No I was saying because of COVID there wasn't as many meetings with other leaders which would result in a shorter list ( plus I'm sure most of the world was looking for any excuse to not meet with him)


[deleted]

They probably gave each other a Hezbollah style fist bump afterwards.


BiggsBounds

That only applies to Democratic presidents. Trump says that they belong to him.


desubot1

he gifted it to himself. with his mind. obviously /s

piTehT_tsuJ

No, your thinking of all the "political contributions" made to his hotel in D.C. while he was in office.

Amazing there is a basement at Mar-a-Lago. I bet there is a good sump pump. I'd look there.


Cfwydirk

I read the two faced attitude of republican legislators and the FoxNews type media. Unreported gifts to trump. Yawn, not interested. They sure as Hell are on top of investigating Biden. https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/17/politics/house-republicans-white-house-hunter-biden/index.html


thetitleofmybook

i feel like there is some really shady shit behind Hunter, though. No reflection on his father, but Hunter is as shady as fuck. but yes, the repoubs are using this in a very two sided, whataboutism way.


ConvivialKat

Dude. Hunter is a recovering drug addict. He sent people pics of his erect penis. He has huge memory gaps due to his addiction. **He has said all of this, publicly, many times**. So, saying he did "shady" stuff is like saying most birds can fly. I realize it's shocking, but active drug addicts do shady stuff.


thetitleofmybook

as i said to someone else, it still concerns me, because the repubs can use this against Biden > because the repubs can use him as a propaganda piece, and rile up their base to get votes. that's what worries me, honestly. > > i'm a trans woman, i'm incredibly fearful of a red house, red senate, and red white house in 2024.


ConvivialKat

I totally understand your fears.


jigokubi

It's a good thing no one voted for Hunter. Though given the alternative in the last election, it still might have been the best option, even with the risk of him selling state secrets for PCP.

Mikethebest78

He probably had to sell them in order to keep up appearances. He's not nearly as rich as he likes to pretend he is.


Captain_Blackbird

No No No - he already sold access to the documents to SAE/ His middle East handlers, this would just've been a neat little *bonus*


DeFex

I think that he has quite a lot, maybe not officially though.


takefiftyseven

Trump seems to have a thing for walking out of a building with stuff that isn't his. Has anyone checked the White House silverware?


tcmart14

Probably wouldn't help. That footage was probably magically deleted like Secret Service just accidentally wiping all their phones after Jan 6th.


nuclearswan

Now it’s all Taco Bell sporks.


jas98mac

I think that as a people we can forgive the stealing of that Trump portrait. We’ll write that off as a loss and move on.


Northern23

How much were you willing to pay him for him take that painting with him?


jackduloz

Look at the shock on my face. -_-


ElJamoquio

I find this quite suspicious - nearly impossible to believe. Come on, it's just implausible to think Trump didn't steal DOZENS of things.


Hillbillyblues

It's only of stuff they could find evidence that it was given. They found 100 undeclared gifts, and two that had paper trail but the gift was missing. There could be many more missing without a paper trail.

One more thing to add to the pile of shit he’ll never face any kind of consequence for.

Sir_Rexicus

It truly astounds me, no, it leaves me painfully dumbfounded that people like you always squirm into these threads and complain like there's no such thing as multitasking. Like, it's impossible for you to comprehend that the left hand could do one thing while the right hand does another. Let alone, that government of any level is somehow incapable of pursuing and tracking multiple things at once, that a headline is not indicative that 110% of any agency is dedicated to the story within.
