Trump putting his image on a circulating coin

The alternative would never!

I also never use cash. I keep 5s on me for tips. Mostly car park personnel for when I go into the city.

For years there will be studies about his ego and his ability to make up a reality and convince others (and himself). Eventually a historian will conclude he had a combination of childhood abuse or trauma mixed with a rare mental condition that resulted in what we see.

Or maybe it's as simple as he was gifted money by his dad and he learned the power of power in the 80s and became addicted to it.

What I still don’t get is how or why he has so many that just keep allowing him to do this shit he has no authority to do?

[89th]

I think it's a combination of:

• can I get rich off of this (e.g., his family and business partners investing in a drone company 2 years ago, now worth 10x because of a DoD contract)
• can I get elected? (this effect is waning, but it used to be a GOP candidate with Trump's endorsement was gold)
• Trump can sign executive orders doing...whatever (this also will end in 2 years)

I thought at first you guys were talking about a private mint type of coin, but realize now it is an official coin!!

Megalomaniac.

In 24k gold and three inches in diameter!

This a commemorative coin, for magats collectors. Far worse in my opinion is his image on a circulating $1 coin.

Oh yes, his head image on the small coins is awful.

But there is something very distasteful and vulgar about this big bling image of him, leaning aggressively forward with clenched fists.
