Date: May 16th, 2025 10:31 PM Author: UN peacekeeper President Donald Trump went into a childish sulk over a gift handed to him as he left the United Arab Emirates Friday.
In video posted to X by Trump’s special assistant Margo Martin, the president finished his first foreign diplomatic trip by accepting the present.
He immediately mocked it — to his host’s face. The gift was a glass container holding a small amount of oil. It was handed to Trump by the head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., Sultan Al Jaber.
Trump held it up before proclaiming that he was “not thrilled” with the gift.
“This is the highest quality oil there is on the planet, and they only gave me a drop,” he said.
“So I’m not thrilled, but it’s better than no drop.”
The comment — considered an awkward joke — elicited subdued laughs from the sultan and other observers. |
