Oh, I agree but my thought was the Swiss went along with it and it is disingenuous to suggest now that it wasn’t what it looks like.

The US Constitution says he can’t keep it, whether his name is on it or not. “…no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

It's too late to edit those Trump ads that ran in 2024. From: "Kamala is for they/them. I'm for you." To: "Kamala is for you. I'm for me me me."

so do we all take turns with the Rolex or what because there’s a non-zero chance my kid tries to put it in her mouth

They were OR very naive to believe Trump wouldn't steal the presents OR they're lying their ašses off now.

Are they worried about facing bribery charges?

Lolol

Oh, sure pedophile, I'm always passing around the communal rolex, everyone gets to wear it for fifteen seconds

yes, every american would get to wear the rolex for a day. Within about a million years everyone would get a turn.

The Swiss really like to pretend they aren't the crooked gangsters that they are.

Sure, Jan.

So Poopie-Pants-Pedophile-in-Chief stole them?

Yeah, they can't distance themselves from their actions now. They are complicit forever.

Get ready for an investigation followed by consequences, Bern's top trade diplomat. Contrary to popular myth, intention is not that difficult to prove.

Right.

They probably caught him hawking the watch on e-bay

How do you give a watch to 300 million people?

And he kept them?

Read : use

Two places that I know of—the first is the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution; the second is the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act (U.S.C. § 7342), which makes it a crime for a federal employee, inc. the president, to personally retain any gift over $525 in value.

Bern's top trade diplomat not aware that some outlets still engage in actual reporting, not stenography. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

How can millions of people share a watch

Goddamn "born on a Tuesday but not last Tuesday"- ass diplomacy

On my day I'm melting the gold down and hiding it in a falcon statue.

lol

You clearly didn't read the rules. Only those alive at the time of the gift are eligible. This is Trump's America. We pull up the ladder.

Oh, indeed; and some of the gifts have definitely been more in the "this is for you, Mr. Trump"- something that didn't happen under previous admins... Like, I'd wager we'd STILL be hearing about "Rolex-Gate" if Obama accepted a Rolex from a foreign government.

Cool. So when is it my turn to wear the Rolex?

I call dibs for the Rolex for August 28th next year!

LOL just admit you know how to play this shitty president…after the “gift” he took off your tariffs. So it worked. Just admit you played him to your advantage like every other government on the planet.

Wait? Where is my Rolex?

What does that even mean?

mom said it’s my turn with the Rolex

David Waldman @kagrox.bsky.social She means the ring with the giant “T” made out of diamonds, and emblazoned with the numbers “45” and “47.”

Sure Wilbur.

It's internal politics I think. Historically the Swiss have been quite liberal when it comes to bribes, but it might be illegal nowadays. Plausible deniability or something like that.

So we're stuck paying the gift taxes?

BS

They should stay in the White House, it's that simple.

Damaged began under Regan #voteblue2026

Yeah, right.

Executives can’t take the bribes back now, lock them up!

loud wet fart sound

I'm not sure that this is the most well thought out criticism of a diplomat.

Worked for a Swiss outfit for years, this is 100% true

Is really like to read this but I ain’t giving Bloomberg money
