🎁👑Of all the reasons a serious historian might quit a presidential archive—lack of funding, bureaucratic red tape, maybe too many dusty boxes—you wouldn’t expect the trigger to be Donald Trump giving a present to a king. Yet here we are: a librarian at the Eisenhower Presidential Library packing up their desk after one of Trump’s infamous “gifts” sparked a tug-of-war between the White House and the institution.
🎀 The Royal Screw-Up
Apparently, Trump’s idea of diplomacy is less “carefully considered statecraft” and more “Christmas morning free-for-all.” So when a present to a monarch found its way into the Eisenhower archives, the staff—whose job is literally to preserve America’s history with some semblance of dignity—ended up refereeing a royal row.
The White House wanted the gift logged as a keepsake of presidential generosity. The archive boss thought maybe, just maybe, the archives weren’t meant to be a pawnshop for random trinkets Trump tossed across a throne room. Cue months of wrangling, until finally the librarian did the only sane thing left: resign, before being crushed under the absurdity of explaining why the national record now includes Trump’s souvenir shopping.
🤦 Diplomacy, Trump-Style
This is classic Trump theatre: what should have been a straightforward, boring footnote in the presidential records becomes a saga worthy of HBO. Instead of focusing on, say, actual treaties or global challenges, the archives are now another casualty in the wake of Trump’s “unconventional” approach to diplomacy—where gifts are less about protocol and more about whatever makes the biggest splash on Fox News.

What was the gift? A golf club? A signed MAGA hat? A Diet Coke voucher? And more importantly—why are we still pretending Trump’s foreign policy wasn’t essentially a reality TV spin-off with international guest stars?
