Russian company minting "In Trump we trust" coins

A commemorative coin featuring President-elect Donald Trump is seen on display at the “Art-Grani” metal works company in the Chelyabinsk region of Russia.

A Russian metal working company has minted a sterling silver coin to commemorate President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, featuring Mr. Trump’s face and the slogan “In Trump we trust.”

The Associated Press Television News interviewed the man in charge of the company, who said the limited edition of 45 coins were designed to express his and other Russian business leaders’ “hopes associated with Trump.”

Vladimir Vasyukhin, director of the “Art-Grani” company about 650 miles east of Moscow, in south-central Russia’s Chelyabinsk region, told APTN, “there are more hopes associated with Trump with regards to the lifting of sanctions; maybe the environment (between the U.S. and Russia) will change.”

How brazen. I hope trump hates the fat chin profile image.

I hope this causes trumpers to at least think about what's going on here.

5. This has to be

the most unflattering image ever produced of someone the creator apparently admires. I thought it was a joke, too, just based on the creepiness of the portrayal.
