President Donald Trump had a hand in redesigning the so-called
presidential challenge coin, The Washington Post reported Friday.
The phrase "E Pluribus Unum" will be replaced by the Trump campaign
slogan, "Make America Great Again."

President Donald Trump has made several alterations to what is known as
the presidential "challenge coin," including replacing the US motto, "E
Pluribus Unum," with "Make America Great Again," The Washington Post
reported Friday.

The Latin phrase, which appears on US currency, means "Out of many, one."
Now the challenge coin features the Trump campaign slogan on both sides.

Presidents have for about two decades given the coins as mementos.

Other changes to the coin include removing the 13 arrows representing the
original 13 colonies and making it much thicker than its predecessors.
Trump's name also appears three times on it.

One White House aide told The Post the coin was "very gold," adding that
Trump "wanted to weigh in on" its design.

Another aide told The Post that the coins would be "used in ways they
haven't been in the past," possibly being distributed at rallies and to
donors.

Ethics experts questioned the inclusion of "Make America Great Again" on
the coin, often gifted to members of the military.

"For the commander in chief to give a political token with a campaign
slogan on it to military officers would violate the important principle of
separating the military from politics, as well as diminishing the
tradition of the coin," Trevor Potter, a former Republican chairman of the
Federal Election Commission, told The Post.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the
Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.

Has this person gone completely insane? Why would anyone post this nonsense?

Can't be any worse than the "9/11 Anniversary Coin" with a black
woman, two lines, and the word "Hope". I'd take the tasteless
privately minted one with the collapsing towers anyday over that.
