Chuck Schumer: Remove Kim Jong Un from commemorative coin marking summit with Trump

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called on the White House Tuesday to remove North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's image from a commemorative coin released Tuesday that is meant to mark Trump's upcoming summit with Kim in Singapore.

"I urge the White House to take Kim off the coin," Schumer said. "Challenge coins are a time honored tradition and certainly appropriate in this situation, but Kim Jong Un’s face has no place on this coin."

I urge the White House to take Kim off the coin. Challenge coins are a time honored tradition and certainly appropriate in this situation, but Kim Jong Un’s face has no place on this coin. He is a brutal dictator and something like the Peace House would be much more appropriate. https://t.co/ZHUKVqW7yN — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) May 22, 2018

"He is a brutal dictator and something like the Peace House would be much more appropriate," Schumer said. The Peace House is a building located in the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea.

Schumer didn't specify exactly how to take Kim "off the coin," but his comment indicates support for minting new ones that don't include Kim.

How about just scrapping the stupid coin to begin with until there is actually something worth commemorating?

I wonder if even one person believes Chuckie’s sudden anti brutal dictatorship schtick.

Shut up Schumer. If it’ll get him to give up nukes and sign a peace treaty then who gives a f**k?

So Chuckie would rather have a “Trump Coin” than have his communist hero share a coin with Trump.

So Leader Schumer thinks President Trump will be meeting with a building?

If Trump pledged that the sun would rise in the east tomorrow, Chuck Schumer, Democrats, and the MSM would pound the table, demand hearings, call Trump a liar, and demand an investigation for Trump’s racist comments.

Schumcky never misses an opportunity to whine and spin negativity concerning everything President Trump does. He is petrified by the continuing successes.

We have a winner!

If the summit with North Korea ends up being worth commemorating then it will mean Kim Jong Un participated in something worth commemorating and it will be appropriate for his image to be on whatever coin or other trinkets they create to honor the occasion.

Until then, I don't want to see his fat face on anything but the obituary page.

Chuckie has no right to comment on anything since he couldn’t even show up in Jerusalem to honor the opening of the U.S. Embassy.

IDK, someone gave bozo a peace prize prematurely.
I say Kim Jong Un stays on the coin before it’s time.

Must maintain tradition. LOL
