According to a new\u00a0Wall Street Journal<\/em> piece, President Donald Trump encouraged guests to take \u201cwhatever you want\u201d from the White House.<\/p>\n

The article details<\/a> the \u201cinside story on Europe\u2019s rupture with America,\u201d but specifically mentions a meeting between Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House. Merz was reportedly shocked by how \u201cnormal\u201d the president was as the pair discussed foreign matters. Then, Trump pulled the congregation into what he calls \u201cthe Lewinsky room,\u201d which was full of swag that he offered to the group.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Merz visited, he was surprised to find Trump \u2018normal,\u2019 an official later said. Trump listened, asked questions, seemed open to new information and knowledgeable about some topics\u2014though surprisingly unaware of others, including the military situation in Ukraine,\u201d the outlet reported. \u201cDuring their chat, Trump told Merz he had something to show him, and walked the chancellor of Germany into a small study off the Oval Office. It was, Trump announced, \u2018the Lewinsky room\u2019 and he had filled it with MAGA memorabilia, including red hats and boxes of Florsheim dress shoes. \u2018Just grab whatever you want,\u2019 a congenial Trump told his German guests, adding that their wives could sell the swag for \u2018thousands of dollars.’\u201d<\/p>\n

X users reacted, with many predictably losing their minds over the allegations in the report:<\/p>\n

Clearly, everything in this White House is for sale \u2014 when the POTUS himself says it directly to foreigners.<\/p>\n

Wonder what he asked for in return?<\/p>\n
