So the Kim “summits” were a catastrophic failure, yet the “WH Store” still sells the coins, up from the original $19.95 to… $150. Because they became ironically collectible. And now this.

Can’t wait for next administration’s commemorative coin:
"COVID defeats Trump"
Of course made with 100% fake gold from Trump’s WH toilets. 0.50 cents each.

He’s being lionized for beating COVID. I like people who didn’t catch COVID.
