Uh duh? Pretty normal procedure when visiting foreign governments.

However the problem isn't the support staff, it's the moron leaders that are the problem. I bet 100 bucks that Trump kept at least a gift that contains a spy equipment.

Him? Keep gifts that almost certainly contain spy equipment? He'd never do that. Certainly not giant, 747 sized ones.

MAGA's dear leader is the spy equipment

Didn't one of the Clintons do just that, too?
