Tribute in Washington
The most absurd gifts that Trump received as president
Apple boss Tim Cook has presented Donald Trump a kind of gold bars. It is not the first time that he receives an extravagant present. Here are the craziest.
Most people can only look forward to gifts on their birthday or at Christmas. In the Oval Office, on the other hand, the gestation bell for US President Donald Trump regularly binds. Finally this week: The Apple boss Tim Cook presented him with a glass pane with apple symbol, attached to a 24-carat gold base.
“A former US Marine soldier designed that that works at Apple today,” said Cook. It was specially made and engraved for Donald Trump. Cook leaned over his souvenir and assembled it for the president in front of the ongoing press cameras. “It’s fantastic,” he said and thanked him.
A plane for Mr. President
Donald Trump also found a gift that the Golf state of Qatar offered him at the beginning of the year: a Boeing 747 aircraft with luxurious equipment. Trump wants to use the plane as an Air Force One in the future. Such a machine can cost around $ 400 million in a new condition. Democrats in the US Senate such as Cory Booker, Brian Schatz and Chris Coons accused the president.
Many gifts in the first term
Donald Trump was given plenty of gifts during his first term. The Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyễn xuân phúc had a gold -framed portrait of Donald Trump made. As a passionate golfer, he received a golf bag from the noble brand Louis Vuitton from France President Emmanuel Macron.
From Switzerland, a hickory golf club, from Australia black leather boots from the former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, cuffs with a violet ruby from Italy, a World Cup collector box from Russia, a vase from China and a marble sculpture from a Beluga whale from Canada.
