A federal commission tasked with approving designs for coinage has approved a 24-karat gold coin featuring President Donald Trump, flouting precedent regarding commemorating living presidents and possibly violating federal law.

The coin, formally meant to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States, shows Trump standing behind a desk, firmly pushing his two fists on top of it while giving a stern look in the direction of the coin holder.

The unanimous vote from the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts occurred on Thursday. The commission is composed entirely of people appointed by the president, following his firing of its former members last fall.

    they should use a penny instead, it’s more realistic and no one wants it.

    I’m surprised he was willing to share space on the coin with God. Narcissistic fuckwit.

    $100 says these are gold plated and sold as solid gold.

    Someone needs to add a child’s head poking out from under the table to make it more historically accurate.

    I thought a coin of a living president was illegal?

      If they’re ignoring the law then we can ignore the law against defacement and destruction of US currency, right? Melt them down? Carve Hitler staches or penises in his fists?

        That’s the neat thing about laws. You shouldn’t, but you can apply them selectively.

        I thought that law only applied to altering the face value or completely and intentionally destroying notes and coins.

    It already has the death year of the US in its design, it should be trivial to make him eligible with a tactical covfefe hamberder.

    Deploy it in the middle of June, and it will be a nice, round 80.

    Gross. Imagine having that ugly fat fucks face on a coin for our 250th anniversary… Shameful. Guess since he’s the one that destroyed what we have, it makes sense.

      He looks like Frank Underwood from House of Cards. That plus it being illegal to mint coins of a living president tells me The Reaper has a spectacular joke lined up.

        DOGE’s job was to fire anyone who might resist, argue, or fight back. Classic fascist purge.

        That actually makes him all the more terrifying.

          Yeah, a frightened animal will leash out, but it’s also easier to estimate it’s actions - even if those actions will be stupid (and I’m not sure if the orange idiot even needs to be frightened for that)

          Still, we can handle and model that, and work against it - because it’s always the fucking same pattern
