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.

The Saudi King is smart. He knows Trump is going to have the biggest, bestest, baddest, greatest Presidential Library that will ever be in existence to display his gifts.

MAGA. :-)

What would “minimal value” be for a billionaire?

Wasn’t it the Clintons who arranged for “surplus sales” from historical furniture and other antiques held by the US government... so that their pals could pick up great deals on the stuff?
