    Yeah, a commemorative coin of that incident where he received a bullet wound to the ear, which was miraculously fully healed just a couple of weeks after.

      Couple of weeks is a long time for a flesh wound to heal. Did you mean couple of days? I don’t know what the conspiracy is for this one.

        You mean a missing chunk of flesh, as small as it could have been, can be grown back in a couple of weeks? Are you Wolverine?

        Bullets don’t make clean wounds.

        But leaving that aside, the whole incident, the “historic”, heroic photo with the American flag in the back, and Trump pumping his fist as if he was leading some kind of struggle, it smells of staging. Even exposing himself to more shots is very atypical of a self-centered person like himself.

    And if somehow this does go through, it can be added onto the pile of illegal actions as the law states that no living person may be placed on US currency.

      He’s so old and unhealthy that he might legally qualify by next year.
