VIP guests at Donald Trump’s inauguration received strange gift inside goody bag
Donald Trump has wasted no time making waves during his second term as the 47th president of the United States. Since his inauguration on January 20, he has already signed several executive orders. But one unexpected topic has captured the internet’s attention: the VIP inauguration swag bags.
Technology expert Kenny Manta (@superanonymousk) took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the contents of the exclusive gift bag given to guests at the historic event. His lighthearted post offered a detailed look at the quirky and uniquely Trump-themed items included.

What’s Inside Trump’s Presidential Swag Bag?
Special-Edition Diet Coke
It’s no surprise that Trump’s favorite beverage made its way into the gift bag. Known for his love of Diet Coke (and the infamous “Diet Coke button” rumor during his first term), the special edition commemorative cans stood out as a highlight.
Manta joked, “Special-edition commemorative Diet Cokes, because RFK would flip if it was normal Cokes.”
Comfort Items: Blanket and Towels
The bag included a cozy blanket and a thick face towel. Manta humorously described the blanket as bringing “the comfort and safety of America warming my body after years of darkness.”
The towel, he added, was for “wiping away all the dirt and grime that’s accumulated over the past four years.”
Presidential Pins
Two commemorative pins featuring Trump and Vice President JD Vance were also included. Manta enthusiastically declared, “Two awesome pins that I’ll wear everywhere, already pinned on my sweater.”
Portraits of Trump and Vance
Guests received portraits of the president and vice president, with Manta quipping, “Portraits to hang above my bed.”
“Love Letters”

The black U.S. president edition travel mug was another standout item. “A brand-new mug so I can taste freedom with every morning sip,” Manta wrote.
Lotion, Chapstick, and Hand Sanitizer

In a nod to the pandemic era, the gift bag included hand sanitizer, alongside lotion and chapstick. Manta added a playful comment: “To prevent any more pandemics.”
Hand Warmers

Perhaps the quirkiest inclusion was a double pack of hand warmers. Manta joked, “Two packets of hand warmers so I can feel what it’s like to shake Donald Trump’s hands.”
The Swag Bag Itself

Rounding out the package was a separate bag to hold all the items. “10/10 swag bag. Would vote again,” Manta concluded, though he added that the inclusion of collectible Trump coins would have been the icing on the cake.
A Viral Moment of Humor
The post quickly gained traction online, with many amused by the eccentric contents of the bag. Fans and critics alike found common ground in the humor surrounding the gift bag’s over-the-top yet oddly practical selection of items.
While the inauguration’s policies and ceremonies have sparked debate, the swag bag offered a moment of levity, proving that even in politics, a little humor can go a long way.
