Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the production of gold coins bearing the image of President Donald Trump for the nation’s 250th anniversary.

The new coin shows the president’s image with the words “In God we trust” and “1776-2026” for the semiquincentennial celebration.

‘It’s cute, not a bad picture, but it’s very cute that he gave me a coin. … It was very unusual, but I was honored by it.’

“As America commemorates 250 years of independence, the @usmint will begin striking this new $1 gold coin to honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism,” Bessent posted on his social media account.

“Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all,” he added.

While the president’s supporters were thrilled, his critics were outraged and registered their histrionics on social media.

“North Korea called and said you’re embarrassing yourselves,” left-wing activist Joanne Carducci replied.

“Ridiculous and un-American. The American people deserve a president who cares more about putting money in people’s pockets than he does about putting his face on people’s money,” Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) said.

“Congratulations, we’ve entered the end stages. Eliminate the penny, plug the nickel, and make some commemorative gold coins nobody can afford,” GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky responded. “I feel sorry for the folks who will be sold worthless knockoffs of this by the usual grifters.”

“This is a violation of Federal Law, you creepy bootlicking sycophant. The dishonorable, egomaniacal, orange demagogue is still living. … Another American national disgrace from a Trump Epstein Administration that makes a daily occurrence of national disgraces,” boxing promoter Lou DiBella replied.

“Are you really being serious here????” former tennis star Martina Navratilova responded.

“You realize you’re going to be nothing more than a s**t stain of history in two and a half years time,” another detractor said.

The president called the coin “cute” when asked about it on Fox Business.

“It’s cute, not a bad picture, but it’s very cute that he gave me a coin,” he said, in reference to Bessent. “That’s very unusual from what I understand. … Yeah, a gold coin and a silver coin. It was very unusual, but I was honored by it.”

The coin will not contain any actual gold. It will be minted in Philadelphia and is expected to be available in the fall.

Netflix quickly found itself in a deep hole on Wednesday as reactions to one of its movie descriptions quickly spiraled out of control.

A viral post from Tuesday afternoon picked up a lot of steam for its content, and in less than 24 hours it had been seen by millions of users on X.

‘The most amazing synopsis of all time.’

Going, going, ‘Gone’

The post in question is about the 1939 classic film “Gone with the Wind,” which takes place at the end of slavery in the United States in the 1860s.

“The Netflix description of Gone With The Wind is the most amazing synopsis of all time,” the X post states.

On its website, Netflix lists the movie as “Romantic, Epic,” and “Critically Acclaimed,” but it also sends a different message to viewers about its content.

“A 1939 American Civil War epic known for its racism,” the description says, despite being rated “G” for general audiences, meaning all ages.

Then, Netflix directs viewers to look into Black Lives Matter for more information.

“To learn more about Black lives in America, search ‘Black Lives Matter,'” it reads.

Blaze News can confirm Netflix’s website still featured the description at the time of this writing.

Rotten tomatoes

Reactions were swift, reaching millions of viewers across the globe.

“Needs to change,” X owner Elon Musk said early on Wednesday. That post was seen by more than 1.5 million users.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) reacted to the description more than once, saying both times, “This is RIDICULOUS.”

At the same time, “Gone with the Wind” is treated far more gently on IMDB, where it sports an 8.2/10 rating. There, the movie is described as a “turbulent romance” that takes place “during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods.”

There is no direct claim that it is a racist movie, however.

Disclaimers written through the eyes of progressives for modern audiences is not new for streaming platforms; Disney+ was raked over the coals several times in recent years for how it was treating its classic content.

This included beloved cartoons like “Pinocchio,” “Dumbo,” “Fantasia,” “Lady and the Tramp,” “The Aristocats,” and “The Jungle Book,” which received the following warning: “This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions.”

Perpetual do-gooders

Not even the Muppets were safe from the perpetual do-gooders at Disney either. In 2021, the company went into a diatribe in the description for “The Muppet Show” that featured claims like, “This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures.”

It continued, “These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now.”

Disney also acknowledged its “harmful impact” but urged audiences to “learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together.”

Even classic PlayStation game “Tomb Raider” got similar treatment in 2024, when a re-release warned about “offensive depictions of people and cultures rooted in racial and ethnic prejudices.”

Netflix did not respond to a request for comment.

Lindsey Graham’s death marks the end of one of the most consequential — and controversial — careers in modern Republican politics.

And while many conservatives loved to hate him while he was alive, BlazeTV host John Doyle believes that few knew how much the longtime South Carolina senator actually accomplished for their movement.

“You may remember September 27, 2018. If you were online that day, you already remember exactly where you were. Brett Kavanaugh is being potentially confirmed to be a Supreme Court justice, and it’s not looking good,” Doyle begins.

“He’s dying on live television. There are accusations from that woman … doing the crocodile tears, and we all had to just pretend that OK, yes, believe all women. So true. Republicans on the committee are looking like hostages,” he recalls.

“And then the man the Tea Party spent, like, a decade trying to primary just leans into his microphone and has a little bit of a patriot go-off moment. He says, ‘This is the most unethical sham since I’ve been in politics,’” he continues, referencing Lindsey Graham.

“Conservative media started cutting, you know, Lindsey Graham 2.0 highlight reels. Literally, in my first-ever video in October 2018, I covered this story, and I called this man based,” he adds.

Kavanaugh then got confirmed, despite the slogan “Believe all women” being repeated by feminists all over the country.

“In a room on camera with a Supreme Court seat on the line, the senator willing to torch 20 years of his kind of, like, bipartisan reputation — that was Lindsey Graham,” Doyle says.

“Everyone on that committee had the same microphone, and one guy chose to use it, and that was Lindsey Graham,” he adds.

Not only that, but for the last two years, Graham chaired the Senate Budget Committee.

“Graham was the gatekeeper. He shepherded the big, beautiful bill through unanimous Democrat opposition and some genuinely ugly, you know, GOP infighting. Then came this year’s reconciliation package, funding immigration enforcement, literally the largest increase in funding ever for the rest of Trump’s term. And sitting on his desk the day he died,” Doyle explains.

“All of that was moving. All of that was in progress, and it was because of this guy’s effort,” he says. “Who’s going to chair that committee now? Who’s going to fill that vacuum? Is it going to be somebody who’s actually more effective? Is it going to be somebody who’s more loyal to Trump and his agenda and his party?”

While Doyle admits there are many things he did not agree with Graham on, he does believe the senator was effective and ultimately stood for America.

And those laughing about his passing don’t realize why they’re actually laughing.

“You know, it’s easy to piss on a guy’s grave. It’s harder to be so effective that you can inspire people to want to piss on your grave,” Doyle says. “That’s my point.”

A Marine veteran running for Florida’s 5th Congressional District is being condemned for his threatening comments against President Donald Trump.

William Upham released a video statement calling the president the Antichrist and saying that he “must be killed.”

‘William Upham is no longer a Marine and does not represent our values or ethos.’

Upham is running as a write-in candidate, surprisingly as a Republican. The seat is currently held by Rep. John Rutherford, also a Republican.

The Marine Corps issued a statement indicating that he had been discharged for medical reasons in May 2025.

“The comments made by Upham are a direct violation of the oath he swore to uphold and are not in keeping with the service’s values,” the Marine Corps added in the post on social media.

Upham served from June 2021 until September 2025 and achieved the rank of first lieutenant, according to reporting from Task & Purpose. The outlet also noted that threatening the president is a crime punishable by up to five years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine.

“I’ve come to the realization that our country is broken. We are led by a president who’s the enemy of God, and President Trump will never bring us together like God intended,” Upham says in the video.

“There is no doubt in my mind that the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, is the Antichrist. He is a false messiah, and he is your enemy, and he must be killed,” he adds.

Acting U.S. Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao called the comments “unacceptable” in a post on social media.

“William Upham is no longer a Marine and does not represent our values or ethos,” he added.

Blaze News reached out to the Florida GOP for comment.
