JMFC! US Mint can begin producing Trump commemorative gold coin after arts commission approves design

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal arts commission on Thursday approved the final design for a 24-karat gold commemorative coin bearing President Donald Trump’s image to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday on July 4.

The vote by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, whose members are supporters of the Republican president and were appointed by him earlier this year, was without objection. It clears the way for the U.S. Mint to begin production on the coin, whose size and denomination are still under discussion.

“As we approach our 250th birthday, we are thrilled to prepare coins that represent the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, and there is no profile more emblematic for the front of such coins than that of our serving President, Donald J. Trump,” U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach said in a statement.

The unprecedented move marks yet another example of Trump and his allies circumventing conventional past presidential practices — and even the law — to get what he wants. It’s the latest instance of Trump putting his name and likeness in the historical archive, following his renaming of the U.S. Institute of Peace, the Kennedy Center performing arts venue and a new class of battleships, among other tributes.

1. There is no God, that's all there is to it.

Only thing that can stop this is a YES on Orrex's thread.

2. It's the felon's panel of MAGA vulgarians. The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts is no more. (nt)

3. That man's the scourge of all things clean. He is unclean.

4. I believe there is one more hurdle

A bipartisan commission on coinage, the name I forget, must also approve this.

5. I hope so.

6. Oh what the actual fuck.

Fuck Trump and fuck this fucking clown show!

7. BTW, there is NO WAY the felon's appointments to U.S. CFA are "well-qualified judges of the fine arts"

..as required under the law.

Please, somebody, file a lawsuit challenging their appointment!

And, as United States citizens and patriots, don't WE have standing to sue to stop the degradation of a felon who violates the constitution, court orders, and who has corrupted our executive branch with the largest pay-to-play schemes in our history, being depicted on a coin commemorating the United States's 250th year??

8. The only coin worth less once minted.

Buy two and get a free bankrupt casino.

9. Who cares...commemorative coins are a grift for suckers on a good day

This one is just a triple grift.

10. Other pervs are being kicked out and elsewhere prosecuted
