White Tiger and Cheetah Furs: A Mess of Trump Gift Exchanges
Gift exchanges between U.S. and foreign leaders, a highly regulated process, devolved into sometimes risible shambles during the Trump administration.

The Saudi royal family showered Donald J. Trump and his entourage on his first trip abroad as president with dozens of presents, including three robes made with white tiger and cheetah fur, and a dagger with a handle that appeared to be ivory.

Little that followed went right.

A White House lawyer determined that possession of the furs and dagger most likely violated the Endangered Species Act, but the Trump administration held onto them and failed to disclose them as gifts received from a foreign government.

On the last full day of Mr. Trump’s presidency, the White House handed them over to the General Services Administration — the wrong agency — rather than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which seized the gifts this summer.

At that point, there was a surprise.

The furs, from an oil-rich family worth billions of dollars, were fake.

Damn these people are scoundrels

1. Fake fur for a freaking fugly faker

Fake fur, eh. Well, the Saudis are sometimes more Republican than the Republicans themselves, as DEPLORABLE as that may be for decent folks around the world.

A sorry lot of fuggin fakers.

[malaise]

2. It would be hilarious if they were fake

but criminal if he handed over fake ones

[Champp]

11. Oh, the Olde Switcheroo! Is that what you're suggesting?

I can definitely see the Republican casino hustler pulling a switcheroo fast one, keeping the real hides of the endangered creatures, and handing over the fakes he substituted -- trying to pull a yet another stinking rotten fast one. Very possible. Very much in character.

Very much in accord with Republican values as we have all seen

[malaise]

12. We cannot rule that out

Good grief is there no low low enough for the Slobfather?

[Captain Zero]

14. Probably why the couldn't do the transition

They were out shopping for fakes to hand over.

[ornotna]

4. You're too kind

Calling them scoundrels.

[Celerity]

5. Trillions, not billions. nt

[Arazi]

6. The furs they were given in 2017 were real. They turned over fake copies in 2021

[Brainfodder]

7. They were finely crafted by Orange A. Nus & Sons, fine furriers?

So proud of killing safari animals, that they shared it with the world!



For me I think the funniest details are yet to come: their motive nuances besides the obviou$, for all this crap.

Ran for president because he can't take a joke?

That asshole clan in hindsight, I just see them in IMPRESS MODE that they aren't allowed to stop, no matter how ridiculous it looks.

A president had his daughter with no qualifications sitting in on meetings with world leaders and even posing in photos with them!

18. I see what you did there

DUzy

[sanatanadharma]

8. So Trump stole the real furs

Don't diss the Saudis; Trump stole the real furs.

[malaise]

9. I am not ruling this out

We can't

[Captain Zero]

15. I'm going to also guess that the real ones had

Pockets FULL of oil money and linings with money sewed into them. Wanna BET ?

[malaise]

16. Hehehehehhe

The Saudis have mirrors - they know greedy and corrupt
