The minting of this coin, while Trump is alive, appears to be illegal. The Thayer amendment, added by a Republican representative to a federal appropriations bill in 1866, states explicitly that “no portrait or likeness of any living person shall be engraved or placed upon any of the bonds, securities, notes, or postal currency of the United States.” A resource page on the website of the U.S. Treasury Department once confirmed this law, near the top of a section of frequently asked questions about portraits and designs:
Yea i dont think he cares
Everyone always forgets about the “The President can do whatever he wants” rule.
“You say there’s a law that says the president can’t do that, but I say there’s no law that says the president can’t do crimes.”
You splutter in apoplexy while the judges sagely nod their head and agree that there’s no law that says a president can’t do crimes.
The “no one is going to do a goddamn thing to stop me” provision.
Renown law abiding citizen President Donald Trunt
Small factual correction: No proof was ever provided or produced that be was “shot” in the ear. A secret service agent told the press after the attempted shooting he had been struck in the ear by shrapnel. Potentially glass from the podium or whatever.
I just feel the need to always mention this because had someone, anyone, been shot in the ear there would be physical evidence once the wound recovered. Is his ear missing a chunk? Does it have a hole? Is he seriously trying to claim a bullet only grazed him? The far more likely outcome is what the secret service guy said at the time. I’ll be maintaining this opinion until I die. Not sure what evidence could change my mind at this point because obviously any medical or whatever reports will be influenced aka fake to support his narrative.
It wasn’t a belt buckle from one of the SS members who dove on top of him?
That sounds plausible as well. Basically anything besides “a bullet getting so close that it juuuuust barely scraped his skin.” That is possible, I just don’t believe it. He has every incentive to lie and zero to say “the doctors pulled a shard of glass out of my ear.”
You can be sure that the first thing Trump did after he was carted off from the shooting was call at least twelve plastic surgeons (presumably on speaker).
I appreciate this post
I enjoy holding the most petty of conspiratorial opinions
