(17,984 posts)According to another poster in that thread it is being produced as a "limited edition coin" as a fundraiser for an Israeli non-profit.
So at least there is that.
Still, who the hell comes up with this crap?

(51,582 posts)The smart leaders have learned to play it up and stroke his...um...um..."ego".
I am sure this will be of little to no value monetarily and will be equal to a "Limited edition coin with the picture of Elvis produced by the Jerusalem Mint for $19.95. Get it now while supplies last. Makes a great Hanukkah gift".

(5,811 posts)Trump is German. Germany is in Europe too. One third of the Israeli population is Russian and/or Ukranian (eastern Europe), the other two thirds are European with some European Americans thrown in the mix.
This is all about whiteness so it makes perfect sense to me that they would celebrate someone whose father was a member of the KLAN and whose bedside reading (probably audio since Trump can't read) is Mein Kampf

(41,205 posts)The Israeli population is approximately 75% Jewish, 20% Arab, 5% other. Of the Jews, about half are of Europaean, mostly East Europaean, origin and half of recent Middle Eastern origin.
For obvious reasons, Israelis are not very keen on German racists. Actually Germany nowadays also isn't very keen on German racists!
Neither of Trump's countries of parental origin - Germany and the UK, specifically Scotland - are very fond of Trump.
Unfortunately, it sometimes seems that there's nothing so masochistic as a voter, and the extremes of almost-pure proportional representation (Israel) and its complete lack (UK system; USA electoral college) both exaggerate the dangers.
Netanyahu seems to be like a more intelligent version of Trump in many ways.

(22,100 posts)Just like we all ignore the Franklin Mint coin offers that they come out w/ almost daily, a new coin for this, a new coin for that. This will be an epic fail, among all of the coin collectibles available in the market place today.
What I'm looking for, and haven't seen yet, is a 6 inch to 12 inch tall naked RUMP doll like the full size ones being shown/set up in various locations throughout the US and some European countries. This would be an instant sellout. I'd stick pins and needles into it, and light a match underneath the feet of the RUMP doll. Maybe, just maybe it might do the trick of getting RUMP resigning due to unknown medical reasons.
Oh well. Fantasy and daydreaming are still free in this country, although w/ Sessions and RUMP railing about first amendment rights (the press now, persons later?), who knows what the future holds?

The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,659 posts)or an official item of any sort, but is merely a commemorative trinket produced by some right-wing outfit. It's kind of like something produced by the Franklin Mint. Stupid, but not as worrisome as if it had been something official.
mountain grammy
(26,608 posts)I thought it was the real deal. Ugh.. My father in law would have bought a dozen if he was still here. We have boxes of that commemorative crap. Might even be one with John McCain on it.
