Remember when I said I hope these coins become his Mission Accomplished?  Put a check mark on that one.

  1. Where can I get one? I wonder if NK made any medals.

  2. Well, he pulled out and blamed the other guy. There goes his Nobel Prize.

    It deserves a prominent placement in The Donald J. Trump Hall of Shame Museum, hopefully being planned at this moment.

    Take both faces off. One because he’s playing us, and the other who only sees money and not diplomacy.

    As for Nobel, I think Bolton’s sabre-rattling pretty much took care of that.

    I see a great “collectors’ item” opportunity here; look for Trump to pocket a number of these and later try to sell them.

    I foresee that the MAGA hats – and the MAGA hat Christmas Tree ornaments, and all the other clobber associated with this government will be consigned to some dark oubliette. Discovered very much later by archeologists mixed up with bat skeletons and dried guano.

    Should I just go ahead and tell you how I feel?

    What’s the over/under on when the first one shows up on EBay?

  8. Now that the summit is kaput, what happens to the coins? Back to the smelter? eBay? Glenn Beck gets to hawk them?

    It was doomed from day one.
    Nobel Peace Prize, my a**.

  10. Oh sure, there will be some collector’s value for this coin commemorating a non-existent summit.

    But I’m saving my money for The Wall With Mexico coin. Inscription on the tails side:
    “Who’s Gonna Pay For It?” (then a blank space where the coin’s owner can have their name inscribed)

  11. “Never mind” was Emily Latella. “It’s always something” was Roseanne Roseannedane.

    Let’s see. Bolts Bolton referenced the Libya model. Kim Jong Un called Mikey Dense a “dummy.” (points Mr. Kim) Yet Donnie pulled out first. Seems Cadet Bone Spurs blew retreat days before rushing into his Water-loopy version of Custer’s Last Stand. While negotiations are the far better option than nuclear war or even conventional war given the geographic proximity of China and the two Koreas, it would not be in our best interest to proceed with a ***king moron speaking for our delegation. Pompeo as the ‘adult in the room’? We are so screwed with this maladministration.

  13. I know what I would like to do with one of these.

  14. Jane & PKM says:

    Bud, if/when you have that opportunity, be sure to thoroughly heat the coin for maximum effect.

    14
  15. Anyone know whether they are made in China?

    15
  16. All we have to do now is wait for the Republicans, Fox News, and other right-wing media outlets to roll-out their alternate reality version of this major Trump blunder. It’s going to be a doozy. I expect the failure of this summit to be blamed on #44, HRC, and/or Kerry, followed by blaming it on Democrats in Congress, and the sad thing is that the mindless right-wing drones will believe every bit of it.

    AK Lynne, these coins are actually struck (minted) by the WHCA. Otherwise Javanka probably would have filed a patent with China. Normally (as if there was anything ‘normal’ about this maladministration,) these trinkets are sold in the White House gift shop. These may or may not make it that far. Too bad Donnie’s casino holdings went belly up or these would be great slugs for his slot machines.

  18. It’s a mouthful, but I’d like to try and change the old saying “as worthless as a $3 bill’ to “as worthless as a Trump-Kim coin.”

  19. You nailed it. Love to all.

  20. Jane & PKM and denizens,
    The WH Gift Shop IS actually selling a knockoff of the WHCA coin.
    The price was just discounted on a “Deal of the Day” from $24.95 to a mere $19.95.
    Designed by somebody with a suspiciously foreign-sounding name of Giannini, with a “Black Velvet Case” and free shipping (to US addresses only).
    You can bank on (the T Org is) patriotic Trumpanzees across the land ordering a couple of these slugs…errrr…commemorative coins for proud display on their iceboxes and nightstands.
    No word on where they are made, probably in Mexico.

  21. Bud, I know what I would like to do with all of these. And they should be white-hot, if you’ll pardon the expression.

    21
  22. Rick, you made the State department mistake. It is not Chairman Kim but Chairman Un. That would change the expression to “As worthless as an Un-Trump coin”. Does that help?

  23. @shirt

    Far as I know the Korean dictator’s family name is Kim. This particular dictator’s given name is Jong-Un. His predecessor and biological father was Kim, Jong-Il and his grandfather was Kim, Il-sung.

  24. @Micr

    How humiliating. That’s what I get for thinking Secretary of State Mike Pompeo knew what he was talking about. Thanks for the correction Micr!

  25. Jane & PKM says:

    Magnetize those worthless flip coins and they’d be the perfect accessory to affix a worthless Trump U diploma to the defunct refrigerators kept by Trumanzees along with the assortment of cars unable to make it to the junkyard they favor as lawn ornaments.

    Or, maybe Donnie could attach his diminutive little thumb print over Kim’s face so he can regift the worthless tokens as departure gifts for the staff fleeing his maladministration. Latest to hit the door, ret. army major gen Mark S. Inch (real name, honest), who was Federal Prisons Director, until interference from Elf Sessions and Jughead Kushner drove him to the exit. Meanwhile speaking of thumbs, whose diminutive thumb granted Jughead a permanent security clearance? It was determined that Jugs is not a blackmail risk in some fine sleight of hand.

    Any word on the two intel briefings Kelly was hosting today? Leaks ahoy!

  26. Neighborm says:

    A few days ago, my local paper published an op-ed piece by Marc Thiessen. The banner read “How Trump Cornered Kim Jong Un.” That morning I also read an article that said Trump was ending South Korea joint exercises which include our B52s. Today, the summit has been cancelled. What’s frustrating is that so many people read just the headline. They will believe that Trump is the supreme negotiator when nothing could be further from the truth.

  27. I knew that plane couldn’t fly.

  28. That Other Jean says:

    Maybe these coins commemorating an event that didn’t happen could be used as golf ball markers, since Trump was prohibited from selling the ones he had made with the Presidential Seal on them.

    Also, Mike Pompeo and Mr. Un: Is there nobody left in the State Department who can explain Korean naming conventions to him, or did he just not bother to ask? No wonder Kim thinks we’re easily-played idiots.

  29. That Other Jean:
    I bet there’s still loads of professional diplomats and foreign service personnel just doing their jobs the best way they can and waiting out the clock until we get this floating putrid cesspool mass that’s polluting every strategic relationship we’ve built for decades out of the Oval Office.
    At least I hope so. Because we are ferdamnsure gonna need their experience, wisdom, and professional relationships that they’ve cultivated pre-cesspool mass when we get a President who isn’t a malignant narcissist, to try and re-establish something resembling normalcy with our allies.
    And adversaries.
    Unfortunately, to actually listen to these career professionals, or even acknowledge their existence is not something that the SHITSHOW that calls itself an administration is prepared to do at this stage of their lives. Sorry mama, but sometimes the terrible taste of soap is a price worth paying.
