Gift For A King, circa 2030

In our current political climate, it is not far-fetched to think that the American President in the year 2030 will expect gifts of gold or jewels from emissaries visiting our country. Is it so different from what is happening now? The gifts he currently receives might not be gold encrusted objects, but are money-making schemes intended to line his pockets with coin, (or digital assets), by not only his subjects, but with anyone wanting to curry favor or show fealty to the king he thinks he is. His reign knows no bounds. He must be reined in or he will become a king, and life as we know it will cease to exist. Our ancestors fought to rid our country of the tyranny of a monarch, and if we are not careful, we will be right back to where we started.
