Not only that, oh, there's more, but the engraving on the interior of the ring reportedly says that it was, quote, crafted in Antwerp for Donald John Trump, end quote.

So this diamond group clearly gave Trump a pretty serious gift, personal gift to Donald Trump.
voice-verified
And wouldn't you know it, just a few weeks later, Europe's diamond industry got some special treatment from President Trump.
voice-verified
As the New York Times reports, natural diamonds, like the ones used in that ring, have been exempted from Trump's latest round of tariffs.
voice-verified
Oh, really?
voice-verified
The move follows months of sustained advocacy by that diamond group in Antwerp, which dominates the global industry.
voice-verified
So now, that ring...
voice-verified
starting to make a little bit more sense.
voice-verified
Now, look, we don't know for sure that that lavish gift was the reason Trump just happened to make a carve out for the diamond industry and all those tariffs he was imposing.
voice-verified
But we do know that the best way to get Trump's attention is with something that is gold and shiny and has his name on it.
voice-verified
And I'm guessing that those European diamond merchants understood what I learned about Donald Trump so many years ago.
voice-verified
When it comes to his ego, no detail is too small.
voice-verified
Joining me now is Texas Congressman Greg Kassar.
voice-verified
He's a member of the House Oversight Committee, and he's been one of the most outspoken members of Congress on all of these issues.
voice-verified
The corruption, Congressman, welcome, is absolutely mind-bogglingly astounding.
voice-verified
It seems to be getting more and more cartoonish at the same time, but it is serious.
voice-verified
So you can go where you want to go, Congressman.
voice-verified
You can go with the ring.
voice-verified
You can go with the special treatment, the meetings, the donations, the contribution.
voice-verified
Where do you want to go?
