The big difference really is accepting a gift as the POTUS, and accepting a gift that they keep as a personal item.
Many presidents receive gifts from foreign nationals (with congressional approval). The big difference is they always had to leave it when they were no longer the president (they go to the National Archive). Trump already declared that after he steps down, he will keep it for himself.
Last time he left the White House they took anything that wasn't nailed down.
