The Spin


Putting Trump on the $1 coin for America's 250th anniversary is exactly the kind of bold, patriotic move this country deserves. The man survived two impeachments and three assassination attempts and still sits in the Oval Office — that legacy belongs on commemorative currency. Honoring the president who led America into its semiquincentennial is historically appropriate and a celebration of American strength.

Stamping a sitting president's face on government currency is what kings and autocrats do — no U.S. president has ever done this until now. Meanwhile, Americans are struggling with skyrocketing grocery and housing costs while the administration bankrolls another vanity project. The Trump $1 coin isn't patriotism — it's a legally dubious, self-serving spectacle that has no place in a republic.
