In June, Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump an 18-karat gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. A month later, European diamonds got an exemption from Trump’s tariffs. We don’t know where the ring is today. Where did it go? Did Trump keep it for himself?

Here's the crux of the ruling blocking Trump from firing court-appointed US Attorney Roger Rogoff in Seattle: Allowing it would "upend" the constitutional order. Trump's tried to end-run Senate confirmation for US Attorneys in five states and failed. Now, he's gunning for the judiciary's power.
Allowing the President to fire a court-appointed U.S. Attorney would upend
the framework created by the Constitution and the statutory framework, which together balances the President’s right to appoint and the Senate’s right to confirm. Allowing the President to fire a court-appointed U.S. Attorney also eliminates the incentive to nominate a candidate that can be conferred by the Senate—in other words, bypassing the requirement that the Executive and Legislative branches work together to nominate and confirm the U.S. Attorney.

Let's not lose sight about the big picture here. Courts keep telling Trump that he's defying the constitution—trying to end-run Congress and the judiciary—to keep his top prosecutors in half a dozen states. All to have loyalists decide who to criminally charge with what in a DOJ under his thumb.
