The White House Gift Shop started selling a “Trump Defeats COVID” commemorative coin on Monday before the president returned to the White House from the hospital.

Anthony Giannini, the chairman of the White House Gift Shop (WHGS), designed the $100 coin as the final coin in a series for Trump’s first term.

“When we at WHGS first heard the sad news of President Trump's positive COVID test, once again we had faith and prayed, yet we knew our President would find a way to knockout COVID in early rounds of this battle,” Giannini said. “President Trump, as you know, is a fan of boxing, and the new coin design features more than a hint of superhero qualities in history's most fascinating president.”

A picture of the coin, which is scheduled to ship on Nov. 14, was not available on the White House Gift Shop. Twenty percent of the proceeds are designated to go to COVID-19 prevention and cancer treatment.

1. "which is scheduled to ship on Nov. 14,"

By Nov. 14 they might have to have a new coin, "Virus defeats Trump."
The man does not look well.

[George II]

7. By November 14 it might be a memorial coin.

16. The Coin

1 side with a picture of a smiling virus and around it could be written, "I moved on Trump like a bitch"
the other side a Trump's face and a skull and cross bones with writing around the outside saying Trump's
words Don't be afraid of it just learn to live with it.

[George II]

17. Did you see that one recently? Here it is (think it was posted on DU recently)

[Botany]

18. I saw that or things that look like that ... Trump doesn't look well

[George II]

21. He looked horrible last night, wheezing and breathing heavy (look at his chest in the videos)....

...and he was pressing his lips tightly together so he didn't huff and puff.

He NEVER has his lips together under normal circumstances.

24. They are giving him compassionate use drugs and steroids to keep him from drowning in his own juices

I might be wrong but I think Trump is much further along in the progression of his disease then they are saying.

From the American Cancer Society
What is compassionate drug use?

Compassionate drug use means making a new, unapproved drug available to treat a seriously ill patient when no other treatments are available.

Drugs that are being tested but have not yet been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are called investigational drugs. These drugs are normally available only to people who are taking part in a clinical trial.

Being able to use one of these drugs when you are not in a clinical trial is most commonly referred to as compassionate drug use.

Steroids

One of the major causes of death from C-19 is from damage to the lungs and in many cases that is from pneumonia.
When the virus attacks the lungs the body's immune system goes into overdrive and a by product of that is "the
flooding of the lungs" with fluids such as lymph and pus which then clog up the alveoli (air sacs) and that can kill
you.

So they give the patient steroids in order to suppress the immune system but that also allows the virus
to keep spreading too.

2. It's a coin toss. n/t

[EarthFirst]

3. The savage exploitation knows no end...

“A picture of the coin, which is scheduled to ship on Nov. 14, was not available...”

That’s because it was cooked up post haste in an effort to capitalize to the fullest; every moment of this charade.

[EarthFirst]

6. I hadn't known that...

That is an interesting perspective you offer; however.

[OldBaldy1701E]

14. That orange gibbon will figure out a way...

to get his greedy little hands on most of it, mark my words.

[ResistantAmerican17]

4. Hope that bullshit inscription is written in dry erase marker. Jury's still out asshole.

[George II]

8. Sharpie

[ResistantAmerican17]

9. It's harder to erase sharpie, but I'll donate the alcohol pads to help out.

10. Tacky Merchandise

Is how Trump will try and pay off all those personally vouched for loans. His supporters are many and will gladly fork over their last $20 on some tacky shirt or bottle opener to bail their beloved leader out. And those who doubt this, the EIB man's made a nice living selling cheap ass merchandise.

[NurseJackie]

11. It's a fucking cult.

[mdbl]

12. How Bizarre!

Bif will do anything to make himself look like something he's not.

[raccoon]

13. A slap in the face to those whose relatives have died of Covid.

Trump and his ilk are terminally trashy.

[Progressive dog]

15. I actually thought there were a few adults left

around Trump. I was wrong.

[louis-t]

19. I'm surprised they're not offering his COVID virus

to his worshipers. "Come get infected by the CHOSEN ONE!! For only $99.95, you can be infected by the same virus that took down Dear Leader."

[Laha]

20. I wish I had a hundred bucks

I'd buy one because it'll probably be worth something after covid takes him out.

[Evolve Dammit]

22. probably a good investment for that reason.

[davsand]

23. Let me guess. It's got really terrible cheap milk chocolate inside.

Everything else about him is a lie, why would a memorial coin be any different?

25. Did Trump hire the chairman of the WHGS?

and who knew there was a Chairman for a gift shop? And whose idea was this, really?

[BlueWavePsych]

26. I guess the coin looks like this ...
