"The US treasury has drafted a design for a $1 coin featuring Donald Trump on both sides, for the purpose of honoring America's 250th Birthday and @POTUS, according to treasury officials. Meanwhile, Trump reportedly wants the Washington Commanders to name their planned $3.7bn stadium after him. A senior White House source told ESPN: It's what the president wants, and it will probably happen."
"Still, Trump is moving to immortalize himself with his name etched far and wide. This is what fascist dictators have done when in power. Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini built monuments to glorify themselves so they'd be exalted in history. Democracies prefer to memorialize their heroes after they've died, and only if the public wants them commemorated. Trump deserves to be remembered but not as a hero."
The US Treasury drafted a $1 coin design featuring Donald Trump on both sides to honor America's 250th birthday and the president. Trump reportedly seeks the Washington Commanders' planned $3.7bn stadium to bear his name. A new $300m White House ballroom appears on donor lists as the President Donald J Trump Ballroom, despite later statements denying intent to name it. Efforts to immortalize Trump with his name on buildings and monuments invite comparisons to fascist dictators who glorified themselves. The account details alleged actions tied to undermining democracy, including false election claims, false electors, and the Capitol assault.
