The W House gift shop has just announced a great new deal...N Korean coin with picture of the POTUS has just been reduced from the original price of $24.95 to a new price of $19.95! This offer won't last long. Buy yours now. Great gift for Father's Day or Graduation. No limits so don't delay!
* This is not a joke
Online interest in the coins and other North Korea summit merchandise crashed the White House Gift Shop site hours after Trumps announcement.
"The summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un may have been canceled, but that hasnt stopped the White House Gift Shop from promoting commemorative coins for the meeting as the Deal of the Day. A steal at $19.95 (regularly $24.95.)
The gift shop notes, The Coin Will Be Made Whether or Not the Summit Occurs as Scheduled. It also advises customers that they can receive a refund because of the summits cancelation, but cautions, Most Supporters Have Said They Want This Heirloom of Political History Regardless of Outcome.

(51,624 posts)The orders DID crash their site. I don't know if it is due to his fans/cult or due to liberals who want it as a historical joke/collector's item.
