White House staff members reportedly began checking Donald Trump's trash upon discovering that the president was inadvertently throwing away sterling silver utensils. This development arose because his snacking habits frequently resulted in silver items being thrown away alongside disposable food packaging.
The allegations originate from Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, a forthcoming book authored by the New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. Neither Trump nor the White House has publicly responded to the claims detailed within the upcoming publication.
