64. Artifacts owned by the US government

Fri Oct 3, 2025, 03:12 PM

Presidential libraries are not owned by the government. The same is true of artifacts in those libraries.

I suspect even in the case of government owned artifacts it would take more than the president asking for it.
At one time Stuben glass was the traditional gift given to foreign dignitaries.
I'm sure there's protocol involved in these gifts which of course Trump ignores.
