Yep, that’s it. The spirit was willing, but the exact words were weak. _Grazie_.

No, I have it on good authority that Satan is a man of wealth and taste. Trump has neither.

The Tan Grifter is at it again…this time with the Official Trump Coin.

> Former US President Donald Trump has announced the launch of his first officially authorized commemorative silver coin, named “TRUMP COINS.” Priced at $100, the coin is designed by Trump himself and is minted in the US.

Wait, TRUMP chose _silver_ for his coin? Now we know he’s in mental decline.

Silver is for _Second_ Place. Winners get _Gold_.

First thing at that link:

> [@](#):
>
> Trump’s new silver coin is not an investment tool.

That’s right, because with Trump’s face on it, it’s going to decline in value.

Ok, I wondered about that remark, and went to real!Trump! [coins.com](http://coins.com) (hashed by ! to break link) for more info.

> [@](#):

Not legal tender, no face value. Yep.

> [@](#):
>
> - Contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver

Aha. Google says 1 troy oz silver is worth about $31. Great. How much is Trump charging for _his_ coin?

**$100**

No wonder it’s not an investment. They are charging more than monetary value.

> [@](#):

Dumbass thinks front face view is his “profile”.

Bolding added.

Rrriight. Oh, no, he means he’ll be selling them even after the campaign.

I mean legally that probably is there to say it’s not a political donation, by since when has Trump cared about legality?

No, not really. In the “mugshot”, he had his head tilted down/forward. That coin is what his mugshot should had looked like, not the _let me surrender while shouting ‘never surrender’_.
