The Trump family is promoting a line of coins commemorating a White House UFC fight, with prices ranging from nearly $250 to $11,999.99. The coins, which are being sold in advance of the fight, feature Trump’s face and are being marketed as a collaboration between the UFC and the Trump Organization.
Details of the Coins
The coins are being sold on a website that claims they were designed by President Trump. There are four coins for sale, including a silver one and a gold medallion. The Trump Organization appears to be licensing the president’s brand for the coins, but is not manufacturing or selling them.
The collaboration marks the Trump family’s latest involvement in efforts to profit from the president’s return to the White House. Trump’s sons have licensed his name to promote various business ventures, drawing scrutiny for the profits the Trump family has reaped through their close association with the commander in chief.
Response to Criticism
In response to questions about Trump’s involvement in the coin’s design and marketing, White House spokesman Davis Ingle rejected any suggestion of a conflict of interest. The Trump Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
