If all else fails with U.S.-North Korean diplomacy, at least we'll have this weird coin

It feels like only a short time ago that President Donald Trump was insulting North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, engaging in name calling and threats everywhere from Twitter to the floor of the United Nations.

And yet, on Monday, CNN’s Jim Acosta tweeted an image of a commemorative coin that marks the potential upcoming U.S.-North Korea summit.

There are three problems with that, though:

The summit has not yet happened.

The summit might not happen, as Kim has serious reservations about U.S. demands.

Kim’s title is not “Supreme Leader,” as indicated on the coin. While probably flattering, that is the title of Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. As The Week points out, Kim’s actual title, “Dear Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, Chairman of the Workers’ Party of Korea, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army” is too long. Still, “Respected Comrade” or “Chairman” seems more accurate.

1. Nice subtle imagery there.

It should be the other way around. Trump got played by Jong-un.

2. They mentioned this coin on the news tonight.

I'm glad you posted it since I has seen it before but forgot what it looked like. The two "man babies" look like they are having a contest about who has the most unattractive profile. I tried to count the number of chins but ran out of fingers to keep track. I am sure he loves any image of him on a coin since the only reasons he even wanted to be the POTUS was for the fame and money. He is the "king of corruption and that applies to both them, take your pick.

3. "And for just $50 more, we'll also send you your own Trumpie Bear, absolutely free!"

6. What? They didn't remove his double chin?

I cant wait until this "summit" falls through. I suspect that's exactly what they were thinking will happen when they produced these things. They only made a limited number. They'll be worth $$ at some point.
