The Division of Treasury is in talks to mint a $1 coin that can characteristic President Donald Trump’s face, a transfer the administration says will mark the 250th anniversary of the nation.
One facet of the coin would characteristic a profile of Trump’s face together with his droopy turkey chin, whereas the again would characteristic a picture of Trump together with his fist within the air in entrance of an America flag with the textual content “FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT,” the phrases Trump spoke after the try on his life in July 2024.
“Despite the radical left’s forced shutdown of our government, the facts are clear: Under the historic leadership of President Donald J. Trump, our nation is entering its 250th anniversary stronger, more prosperous, and better than ever before,” a Treasury Division spokesperson advised Politico. “While a final $1 dollar coin design has not yet been selected to commemorate the United States’ semiquincentennial, this first draft reflects well the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles.”
Apart from the truth that it’s extremely cheesy and egomaniacal for Trump’s administration to mint a coin of himself, it’s also unlawful. In 31 U.S. Code § 5114, it says, “Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities.”
Provided that Trump is at the moment alive, he isn’t legally allowed to be placed on U.S. forex.
Nevertheless, Trump and his goons have proven they don’t care about following the legal guidelines or the Structure. His administration has ignored court docket orders to cease deporting individuals to overseas prisons. It’s finishing up extrajudicial killings off the coast of Venezuela with out congressional approval, and is even freezing and cancelling congressionally appropriated funds.
Trump is such an egomaniac that you may completely see him ignoring the regulation in order that he might get his fugly face on the very U.S. forex he’s devaluing together with his idiotic financial insurance policies.
In the end, this may be the newest manner Trump is utilizing taxpayer {dollars} to have fun himself.
Already, he spent hundreds of thousands on what turned out to be the lamest army parade of all time, which came about on his birthday.
Trump can also be defacing the White Home by placing his cheesy and hideous gold ornaments everywhere in the partitions of the Oval Workplace. And he is even constructing a big, gaudy ballroom that can be greater than the White Home itself—even persevering with the development of the gargantuan stain on the White Home complicated regardless of the federal government shutdown.
On the finish of the day, Trump fancies himself as a king. Ignoring the regulation to place his face on forex would put him one step nearer to reaching that purpose.
