      Surely USA constitution rules are crystal clear.
      Foreign gifts to an individual government employee above a specific value (currently $480) are not allowed and if given presumably become the property of the Federal government.
      A person accepting and keeping an expensive foreign gift is stealing from the US government.

      And your libraries must be rather different from those in the UK.
      Can you go there and ask to borrow the plane?
      Does is get stamped with a due date😁

        The problem is no one has standing to stop the president in court except maybe Congress. (Since the constitution allows Congress to grant exceptions which the president didn’t seek). We have that problem lot, where our founders assumed each branch of government would be jealous of its power and act accordingly. They didn’t envision the rise of parties and how Congress would be incentivized to defer to a president of its own party.

          Basically you're saying a bad President can do what s/he wants; and even pardon him/herself for any & all crimes at the end of term.
          WTF? Is a grassy knoll the only solution?

                    Let me guess - they’re going to cancel the Trump/Witkoff sons’ crypto deal?
