Trump wants his face on US currency, no matter that it's illegal

The Department of Treasury is in talks to mint a $1 coin that will feature President Donald Trump's face, a move the administration says wil

Trump wants to put his ugly demented head on a commemorative $1 coin.

The Department of Treasury is in talks to mint a $1 coin that will feature President Donald Trump's face, a move the administration says will mark the 250th anniversary of the country. U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach confirmed in a post on X that his department is in talks to mint the Trump coin. Beach responded to right-wing media personality Steve Guest, who posted an image of the possible coin, writing, "No fake news here. These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and @POTUS are real. Looking forward to sharing more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over.” One side of the coin would feature a profile of Trump's face with his droopy turkey chin, while the back would feature an image of Trump with his fist in the air in front of an America flag with the text "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT," the words Trump spoke after the attempt on his life in July 2024.

Yep, Trump would be on both sides of the coin. In some ways it's fitting that his image would be on a depreciating currency.

On January 21st the US Dollar was worth 0.96 Euros. Today the US currency is down to 0.85 Euros. So the US Dollar has lost 11.46% of its value since Trump's return to office. And the Trump tariffs are bringing down the value of the dollar even more.

There is a technicality about such a Trump coin.

Aside from the fact that it’s incredibly tacky and egomaniacal for Trump’s administration to mint a coin of himself, it is also illegal. In 31 U.S. Code § 5114, it says, "Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities." Given that Trump is currently alive, he is not legally allowed to be put on U.S. currency.

But given the bizarre speech he gave at Quantico a few days ago, somebody could argue that Trump is actually a zombie and not really alive in the strictest sense.

This House race portends a midterms smackdown for the GOP

A new poll finds that a once-safe Republican House District is now competitive.

NV-02 is the most conservative US House district in Nevada. The House seat there has never been held by a Democrat since the district was created after the 1980 census. It easily was taken by Trump in 2024.

However a new poll shows the MAGA Republican trailing his Democratic challenger in the 2026 midterms. NV-02 is competitive.

The latest sign of impending doom for the GOP comes in the form of a new poll in Nevada’s 2nd District. Released Tuesday, the survey from Wedgewood Polls finds Democratic nominee Teresa Benitez-Thompson leading Republican David Flippo, 48% to 46%, in the rural district that encompasses the northern half of the Silver State. [ ... ] Why is that so bad for Republicans? Because President Donald Trump won Nevada’s 2nd District by a whopping 14 percentage points in 2024, according to data from The Downballot. The district is not even on the list of competitive seats in the major political handicapping outlets. The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball all rate the race as “safe” for Republicans. If Democrats are ahead in a seat like this, then Republicans are in for a brutal election night. Of course, we mused earlier this year that this seat could be one to watch this fall. The seat is open after Republican Rep. Mark Amodei announced in February that he was not running for reelection. As I wrote at the time, “[I]n wave-election years, a seat like this can lead to surprising outcomes—especially when it’s an open seat, with no incumbent advantage.”

Rep. Amodei saw the writing on the wall and wisely decided to bail.

“With all due respect Mr. President, Nevada already has five representatives who live in Clark County. Your endorsement[,] if followed, would make it six out of six,” Amodei said, insinuating that Flippo’s carpetbagging from Las Vegas would not be received well in the rural part of the state. So what did Nevada Republicans do after Amodei issued his warning? They chose Flippo, of course. And that left Amodei saying aloud that he thinks the seat could flip this fall.

So the Trump-snorting GOP primary voters of NV-02 followed the dictates of The Orange One and nominated a carpetbagger who actually lives at the opposite end of the state.

Every wave is made up of individual drops of water. NV-02 is another potential contributor to a Blue Wave. 🌊

Of course election victories don't happen on their own. Every Democrat who lives in a swing district or swing state should seriously consider getting involved with a local candidate's campaign for state or federal office.

As of today (Wednesday), there are just 111 Days until Midterm Election Day. Let's put them to good use.
