Trump Makes Over Presidential Coin, Replaces U.S. Motto With ‘Make America Great Again’

The coin — which is traditionally given to service members to commemorate achievements and milestones, according to The New York Times — appears to have bucked tradition in photographs first published by The Washington Post.

The U.S. motto, “E pluribus unum,” —”Out of many, one” in Latin — has been replaced with Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.” An eagle facing right with Trump’s signature below appears in lieu of the presidential seal.  His name appears three times on the token, which is gold instead of silver and copper, the Washington Post reported.

The coin also features a gold-plated banner that reads “DONALD J. TRUMP.”

President Barack Obama’s and President George W. Bush’s coins were smaller and thinner, and featured the traditional presidential seal and a depiction of the White House, The New York Times said.

Trump “wanted to weigh in on” the design, an anonymous White House aide told the Washington Post, describing the coin as “very gold.”

Another anonymous White House aide told the paper that the coins may be handed out to donors and at campaign events, saying “they’re going to be used in ways that they haven’t been in the past.”

Are the Dummycrats saying they don’t want America to be great?

That is exactly what they are saying.

Now you and I both know what their intentions are - but we need to be making them say it every day !

We need to keep the pressure on for them to denounce MAGA - and show this to We The People

E Pluribus Unum means You are One of many Foreign Peasants who vote Democrat. That is the liberal Latin translation.

Makes good toilet paper. If I ever got a note like that I’d wipe my a$$ with it and then donate it to the DNC! It should have the motto “$hit for Cents” printed on it.
ROTFALMAO!!!

Fake news. It’s not a coin, it’s a token given out in recognition. Coins are currency.
