Kanye West brought Yeezys as a gift to the White House. Can Trump or his collaborators keep them?

And not all old stealthies: Yeezys sells hundreds of dollars. This led us to wonder if the President and his staff could continue to offer such a generous gift.

We consulted Jan Baran, ethics expert, who answered briefly: yes, but to manage Ye's generosity, you may need some paperwork. The President and the Vice-President are in fact not subject to any gift restrictions, he explained, although everything paid to them exceeds $ 375 must be reported on the annual declaration forms.

White House employees are prohibited from accepting most gifts from lobbyists, people who have business in front of the White House or foreign representatives. West does not seem to belong to these categories, said Baran. His visit was "a very strange social interaction" rather than a business meeting, he noted.

West Wing staff members may need to report such gifts, which may need to be verified by the White House lawyer, but otherwise, the Yeezy seem to have escaped. 39; call.

Trump is not the only world leader to have showered sports shoes in the West, he and his wife Kim Kardashian gave Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni a duet signed after the couple met him in Entebbe on Monday. .

So now the question is whether Trump will wear fashionable shoes soon.
