Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Presents Donald Trump with Custom Gold Coin
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis greeted Donald Trump on Friday by presenting him with a custom gold coin. The coin features an image of Trump and an inscription referencing the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis met with former President Donald Trump upon his arrival in Florida this past Friday. During the encounter, DeSantis presented Trump with a gold coin as a gift. The coin features an engraved image of Trump holding up his middle finger, accompanied by the inscription, “YOU MISSED B——.”
Trump displayed the coin to members of the press following the exchange. While the event was documented by reporters on the scene, the specific intent behind the gift and the broader context of the conversation between the two political figures remain unclear. The Hill reports that the coin serves as a direct reference to the July assassination attempt against Trump, utilizing the phrase to mock the shooter's failure to strike the former president. No further details regarding the origin of the coin or the nature of the private meeting have been disclosed by either the governor's office or the Trump campaign at this time.
