When attending the inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20, the VIP guests were surprised with a rather unusual goody bag.
The day Trump took office, surrounded by his family, past presidents, and industry leaders, was eventful. His first week back in the Oval Office was filled with significant actions, including a notable phone conversation with Denmark’s Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen.
Amidst the activities of inauguration day, Trump’s VIP attendees received a memorable goody bag that sparked a lot of interest.
Kenny Manta, a tech expert, shared details about the contents of these bags, “Being invited to the inauguration of @realDonaldTrump came with the perks of receiving an impressive swag bag,” he mentioned.
The bag contained special-edition commemorative Diet Cokes. Manta noted, “These were included presumably because normal Coke might not have been acceptable for the event,” he chuckled.
A notably cozy blanket was also part of the gift, intended to evoke a sense of American warmth and comfort after challenging times.
In addition, the bag featured a thick face towel said to be useful for refreshing any build-up of tension from the preceding years.
Kenny continued by mentioning two attractive pins, proudly pinned to his sweater, meant to exude a sense of pride for the event.
The swag bag also included some portraits that guests could presumably hang over their beds, as a memorable keepsake.
Humorously, Kenny referred to ‘love letters from the Trump team’ as part of the offerings, certainly something that would be quite unique.
This amusing collection was complemented with a brand new mug, intended to let guests savor freedom with every sip of their morning coffee.
The pragmatism of the gift bag didn’t end there. Inside were also essential items like lotion, chapstick, and hand sanitizer, jokingly referred to as tools to fend off any more pandemics.
Two packets of hand warmers were included as well, jokingly provided so attendees might feel what it’s like to have a handshake with Donald Trump.
To top it all, there was a convenient extra bag to hold all these intriguing contents securely.
Kenny summed up his delight by rating the collection as “10 out of 10,” playfully adding that the only missing piece that could enhance the bag would be some ‘Trump coins’.
Meanwhile, on a different note, the day was marked by an intense conversation between Trump and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. It revolved around the contentious suggestion of purchasing Greenland, which led to a 45-minute ‘fiery’ call.
Trump, before heading back into the presidential role, had openly expressed interest in purchasing Greenland, calling it a vital move for national security purposes.
Through his social media platform, Trump turned the focus on Greenland, emphasizing its strategic importance for the United States.
Greenland, recognized for its unique beauty and strategic location, was suggested by Trump to have potential benefits as part of the United States, arising protective and nurturing sentiments from the world’s adversities.
This audacious proposal led to a pronounced statement, “Make Greenland Great Again!”
Despite Greenland’s officials clearly stating the land was not on the market, Trump’s dialogue with Frederiksen turned notably robust.
As reported by the Financial Times, Danish officials summarized the phone dialogue as aggressive and stern, indicating tension between the leaders.
Witnesses described Trump’s firmness during the conversation, interpreting it as a symbolic wake-up call igniting serious and potentially adverse diplomatic discussions.
Trump argued that while Denmark might have legal ties to Greenland, it’s crucial for broader security agendas, insinuating a larger geopolitical game at play with neighboring powers.
Following Trump’s intent, Denmark seemed to prepare for possible ramifications, indicating a diplomatic stir in light of the proposal.
Mute Egede, Greenland’s Prime Minister, echoed public opinion, reinforcing that Greenland is not for sale now or in future considerations.
Politician Aaja Chemnitz reinforced sentiments of respect and sovereignty, suggesting such discussions on buying Greenland were unsuitable.
This issue also stirred responses from Danish representatives, exemplified by the firm words of Anders Vistisen, Member of the European Parliament.
Vistisen, associated with a right-wing view, candidly rejected Trump’s suggestion, asserting the integral status of Greenland within Denmark’s historical framework.
His response to Trump was unequivocal: “It is not for sale. And to be perfectly clear, you’re not welcome to this concept.”
