‘World vs. Virus’: Trump White House selling coronavirus souvenir coins:....

Quote:
Nothing says "I survived a global coronavirus pandemic that killed hundreds of thousands" like a nifty coin with U.S. President Donald Trump's name and tweets emblazoned on it.
The White House gift shop unveiled its contribution to the fight against COVID-19 on Wednesday, with a new commemorative coin that presents the pandemic in the war-like terms that Trump often uses on Twitter and in press conferences.

How about all the good - like the coins commemorating front line workers and nurses where 20% of the profits are donated to medical research like John Hopkins to hwlp with pandemic diseases.

10 to 1 - they will sell out unlike the Easter eggs and Bobble head dolls from Obama's Presidency.

I hope the OP realizes the WH does not have an official "gift shop". There is one across the road, but in no way has anything to do with the WH authorizing anything commemorative....

You realize that you're confusing the OP with facts, don't you ?

Does it come with a letter from DJT? If not, how can it possibly be authentic?

HA!! and as my uber Liberal Trump hating, what are we protesting this weekend, should I bring my laying down in the street of NYC yoga pants sister in law once said to me "I don't care about the facts" I think you pegged the typical TDS sufferer Nodpete





I think a commemorative coin is a bit odd but why not. Is there anything left of sanity in this world today?

there's no guarantee these coins will go up in value but similar coins have.....

Really this is about as American as it gets. Somebody always manages to find a way to make a buck off of everything. I wonder when Trump will have a tie made commemorating this.

It is an attempt to make Trump look "presidential" since his actions have failed to do so. People don't like to remove a war time president in the middle of a war, so they must pretend he is some kind of Churchill with great words...err...tweets inspiring a nation.
