Coin Set

I own a couple of commemorative coin sets.  But rest assured, this is not one I shall be getting:


I resent the fact that I actually received this offer through the mail.  I'm not going to buy anything that celebrates this wannabe dictator.  The various executive orders on his first day were as reprehensible as they were predictable.  His assault on immigration is making me wonder whether he might even go after green card holders, such as myself, at some point.  I'm tempted to become a citizen just to see Trump have to reluctantly welcome new citizens to the country.  What I particularly loathe is his continued indifference to climate change and the environment (such as pulling out of the Paris climate agreement.  Again.  Plus his inexplicably enthusiastic support towards drilling and fossil fuels).  I suspect this all stems from not liking the view of wind turbines from his golf course.  And as for pardoning all the Jan 6th rioters - I suspect I shall be using this phrase a lot, but that is an absolute disgrace.  And as for renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America - well that is just plain stupid and unnecessary.  And petty.  Again, not a surprise from this guy.
