Gilded Diplomacy

Respectable parliamentarians in Switzerland and elsewhere are shocked, shocked, shocked at a golden shower lavished upon the Trumpster and his head-tribble by a cabal of local squillionaires. The gifts seem to have been in suitably refined taste, including a gold bar helpfully engraved with the word PRESIDENT and a gold Rolex desk clock which the head of the company described as modest. A decision to lower the tariffs on Swiss imports was made by the Trumpster, his head-tribble and sheer coincidence shortly after the presentation. The Trumpster will have the option of retaining the gifts, but he may be forced to melt them down and use them to decorate the White House ballroom in order to avoid the tax burden.
