The good news is this is illegal.
The bad news is Republicans probably don't care.
Explain more
31 U.S. Code 5112 says “No coin issued may bear the image of a living former or current President,”
Yeah they won't care, they'll do it anyway, and then go after critics for being "unamerican" and "anti capitalist" per NSPM-7.
I was about to say, I was pretty sure that was a law, instituted to stop... oh, what was it again? Oh ya. FASCISM.
Amendment incoming!
Thank you!
Heard of congressional approval?
This is illegal unless he dies
Oh! Then I support this coin!
They may be expecting that.
Great idea .... no better way to celebrate how stupid this country has become than by sharing another dumb image of this idiot.

NO living person should be commemorated on a coin, regardless of political ideology.
Hopefully, this abomination will go over about as well as the Sacajawea dollar coin.
not a cult!
This is just bait for people to point out that it's illegal to commemorate a living president.
At which point they'll feign "oopsies" and—surprising absolutely nobody—proceed to roll out a Charlie Kirk coin.
[...] it was long-standing tradition to only feature portraits of deceased individuals on currency and coin.
That tradition became law with an 1866 Act of Congress
Does the treasury department know something that we don't about events that may or may not happen before the anniversary?
If such a coin exists ever exists, I hope all of them end up with deep scratches across the face.
Also, “Fight fight fight” sounds more like the Itchy and Scratchy theme song than some democratic saying.
