Robert Kraft Gave President Donald Trump Super Bowl Ring
Being friends with the owner of the Super Bowl champions means you get your own championship ring.

President Donald Trump has a gift from the New England Patriots to remember the team's fifth Super Bowl championship. To commemorate the team being the first to visit the Trump-occupied White House, team owner Robert Kraft gave the businessman turned reality television star turned leader of the country a Super Bowl ring, Patriots vice president of media relations Stacey James confirmed to Tom Curran of CSN.
Talks related the possibility of Trump having a ring surfaced Monday when former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci told the Twitter account for the Patriots subreddit on Reddit over direct message that Kraft gave Trump a ring that would go into his Presidential Library.

While the assumption was that Trump received Kraft's personal ring, the clarification from James shows that was not the case.

The ring only does more to solidify Kraft's spot on Team Trump. The president has been a longtime friend of the Kraft family and he has been seen on the Patriots' sideline and in their locker room.
Also of note from Scaramucci was the sad reality that Kraft's Super Bowl ring that Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly stole is long gone.
