The president is not there to accept gifts. He has the position for the benefit of the American people. That is also the case for Congress. This is the most disgraceful behavior I have ever seen in my 74 years of observation.
"I got a call from the general counsel at the F.B.I. about changing exceptions to the gift rules because his boss, Kash Patel, felt like he should be able to accept more expensive gifts..."

The rest of America doesn’t get special treatment when their call records have been subpoenaed — and Senators should be no different. It’s constant corruption for rubber-stamp Republicans. (2/2)

I like to couch it to my normies as personal things. “My taxes house kids. My taxes feed kids. My taxes educate our kids. My taxes medicate the elderly so they aren’t in pain.” It really dissolves conservative talking points. I am a Christian so I quote Matthew 25.

SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes.
that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry.
but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.
