A new commemorative Donald Trump coin has been approved and people have come up with their own more appropriate designs
In the US, it’s the job of the Commission of Fine Arts to ‘provide expert advice to the President, Congress, and federal agencies on matters of design and aesthetics, particularly to protect and enhance the appearance, dignity, and symbolic importance of the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.’
They’re also the people who approve the design of new coins, and they’ve just given the go-ahead for a commemorative gold coin featuring Donald Trump.

This is the most pathetic attempt to remain relevant in modern history. A malignant narcissist at his finest. Pitiful.
