Kimmel Labels Trump a ‘Special Kind of Con Man’ in Gold Coin Rant

Late-night show host 👤Jimmy Kimmel warned his audience to read the fine print before buying President 👤Donald Trump’scommemorative 🥊UFC Freedom 250 and the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations.

Kimmel talked about the coin — on sale for nearly $12,000 — during his monologue Wednesday night.

He urged people to read the fine print attached to the coin. The coin is being sold through a partnership involving the Trump Organization.

“It just so happens that the Trump family is offering a special 🪙Commemorative Coin with his head on it for this UFC event for the low, low price of only $11,999,” Kimmel said.

He showed an image of the coin, which features an image of the president,

“You can see though it’s a beautiful coin. ‘Julius UF Caesar’ is pictured. This is 1 ounce of pure PF70-rated gold,” Kimmel said.

“Just by comparison, an ounce of PF70-rated gold in coin form without his head on it goes for about 4,500 bucks. So this is a deal,” he added.

He then turned his attention to the product’s disclaimer.

“If you read the fine print, which they would prefer you do not do, you will learn that the coin is ‘intended for individual enjoyment only and not for investment purposes,’” he said. “‘This is not political, has nothing to do with any political campaign.’ ‘It is not legal tender and has no face value.’”

“You really have to hand it to Trump,” Kimmel continued. “I mean, it takes a special kind of con man to sell your supporters money they cannot spend anyplace.”

He said the White House issued a statement denying that the president’s family was “profiting off an event he forced onto the White House grounds.”

Kimmel read a statement from White House spokesperson Davis Ingle, who recommended those pushing “fake news” about “conflict of interest” should get themselves a “Trump Bible.”

“Repent, for only $59.99,” he added.
