Trump wants his name on everything.
Soon, we may see a commemorative $1 gold coin with a portrait of Trump.
Even though it’s been a tradition NOT to feature sitting Presidents, a mock-up of the coin shows Trump standing over the resolute desk, staring into the camera.
In response, a number of Democratic senators have proposed legislation that would prohibit the government from minting coins featuring the likeness of a living or sitting president.
“While monarchs put their faces on coins, America has never had and never will have a king,” Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto added. “Our legislation would codify this country’s long-standing tradition of not putting living Presidents on American coins. Congress must pass it without delay.”
