Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Holy damn cow, y’all. It’s a damn military coin. Trump has a new tactic – he’s going to smother us with his ego.
That damn man did not know what a military coin was until he was elected president.
The White House Communications Agency on Monday released a commemorative “trip coin” to mark the upcoming summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
One side of the coin features Air Force One taking off over the White House, while the flip side depicts silhouettes of Trump and Kim. The coin refers to Kim as “supreme leader,” and denotes the occasion as “peace talks.”
There were 250 of these made. And you know damn well that they were paid for with my damn tax money.
Oh please, sweet angels in heaven above, make this be his “Mission Accomplished.”
Good Lord, do you think Tump could pander any more than this?
I have a sinking feeling that if he can find a way to make money for Orange Enterprises off them, he will….
1After the headline I prepared myownself for the shoe drop. I wondered if he would call hisownself “Fearless Leader” and the dictator Kim, “Supreme Leader” (not to be confused with Diana Ross or with John Roberts Jr). Or vice versa.
This maladministration has gone from merely totally f’ed up to fubar in just 1 short year plus a little. Can you imagine the degree of effort the next administration will have to exert just to get to zero?
2This almost makes me wish that the “peace talks” never get off the ground at all, and these idiot coins get stored in the bin of Trump Administration failures forever. I hope this is the moment where it’s obvious to everybody that he has over-reached, but there have already been so many of those. . . .
3I surprised he has put Mr. Putin on a coin
4“Heads you are scr****, tails your are fu****. I hope this gets by Momma.
5I think I am going to hurl.
I really do.

8The unbelievable gall of this shyster defies credibility.
9These coins should be considered property of the American citizens and melted down into medals for Mueller and his team.
This tells KJu that he TOTALLY OWNS that idiot. Things are not going to work out well here.
10Who needs a Nobel Peace Prize when you can have a special double dictator coin?
11I actually wish I never saw this.Clickbait “news” has it that Trump’s vendetta against Mueller is starting to work. I did not read past the headlines.
12Is it my imagination, or does Trump seem to bowing?
13I wonder if he thinks he can sell all 250 of them.
14Can he pander . . .? Well, yes. He could reach new heights (or depths) with yet another cock=up. As for Clickbait news, this demand of the DOJ is yet another distraction from the Mueller investigation. Now he has an investigation into the investigation that is investigating him. Best yet, he keeps calling himself a “witch”.
15I have nothing to say to has not all ready been said about this pompous ,arrogant,narsacist . It has and alway will be about him. I just hope we can salvage something of this country when he is gone!
16Just wait until they end up on Fox News being offered by the Franklin Mint as a limited edition of 1 million, yours for only $19.95/per. Collect the entire set (future coins to be issued) for only 4 installments of $99.99/each.
17Look out, Bitcoin! Here comes Sh*tcoin! (Sorry, Mama, I’ll go wash out my mouth with Lifebuoy.)
18Better make that Lava Soap, Buttermilk Sky, Lifebuoy doesn’t cut it.
19I know where all those coins belong. It’s a dark location. Mama’s listening so I can’t say more. One at a time. After being heated, or extremely chilled, or alternate the two.
20He’s getting a jump on things because, obviously, the name calling — er — talks will go nowhere. That won’t stop him from tweet-bellowing, “Mission Accomplished!!!!! however.
21If you are constantly barraged as a human being with water boarding or bullshit…. do you not drown and …. figure out a way to stop this nonsense?
22Interesting that Mr Kim appears on the coin to be taller than Mr Trump.
23Any other airplane enthusiasts out there? Does that look like Air Force One to you? It doesn’t to me. It looks like some silly person used stock art of a Douglas Aircraft C-54 (the first Presidential plane) then stuck jet engines on it without regard to the actual proportions and shape of the Boeing VC-25. The C-54 and its predecessor the C-47 both had wings “swept” in front but straight across behind (as in this ugly little coin’s image) and a larger (in proportion) front windshield set at a steeper angle than on the current AF-1. A typically Douglas-aircraft profile, while went more rounded early. It looks to me like they mated stock art of a four engine prop plane from the 40s with stock art jet engines (out of proportion to the wing). (My mother was liaison engineer for the Army Air Corps at the Douglas plant building C-54s just outside Chicago. I grew up on aircraft stories.)
24@Elizabeth Moon
I agree that the art isn’t right. The airplane does look more like a C-54, FDR’s Sacred Cow, than it looks like any of the Boeing 7xx series that have served as Air Force One since 1961.
25And no winglets. Kim is taller and pres Animal Shithole is bowing,
The news is full of how China and Kim are playing him. China’s got him saving their businesses for them while Kim has him blubbering in fear that his big Nobel prize winning peace mission won’t come off. Both know just how malleable and predictable he is. Look who’s groveling now?
Gawd I loathe the very air he breathes.
26Now that the summit looks like a no go thanks to dumbass getting played by Kim, will these coins skyrocket in value, like those currency errors that become valuable?
Or just comic value and an illustration of the hubris of this maladministration.
27Good grief.
That coin is like everything else coming from this misbegotten White House. It’s cheap, gaudy, factually incorrect, and ugly as homemade Sin.
In other words, a perfect symbol for the event, should it actually transpire.
