As President Donald Trump is set to soak in a bloody UFC brawl outside the White House on his birthday Sunday, his family is getting behind $12,000 gold coins promoting the fight card.
The Trump Organization — run by the president's sons, Eric and Donald Jr. — and the multibillion-dollar mixed martial arts company have partnered to sell a collection of "Freedom 250"-themed silver and gold coins branded with the president's face and in a case that features a label with his signature on it.
The coins, which are set to drop Tuesday, range from nearly $250 to $12,000 apiece and also include a portrait of Trump's bud, UFC boss Dana White, on the label.
The medallions are billed as a way to commemorate both America's 250th birthday and a "defining patriotic moment" between Trump and the UFC, per the website of Trump Coins, which says it partners with the Trump Organization and suggests the president "designed" the medallions and other coins.
While Trump has proudly backed the coins and his likeness is apparently cleared for use, Trump Coins claims that the Trump Organization doesn't manufacture or sell the medallions (the degree to how much the organization financially benefits from its "partnership" with Trump Coins is less clear).
The coins are set to go on sale just days before the fight card is overseen by a company that's long been cozy with Trump. The president has used America's big birthday as a vehicle to celebrate himself and to benefit his friends.
The UFC event is set to air on a streaming platform operated by a Trump-aligned CEO, as well. (Note: A lawsuit filed by a watchdog group that looks to block the event from taking place on Sunday is awaiting further judicial review.)
The five-figure Trump-UFC coins arrive as the president disregards Americans' financial situations amid an unpopular Iran war that's caused gas prices to leap and economic optimism to sour.

Who wouldn't want a $12,000 Trump gold coin? Trump should issue an Executive Order requiring every American to buy one. Or else...
There are no limits to the man's ego and avarice.
Which should offend every patriot.
But instead the cult applauds and, at the least, silently condones.
At only $11,999.99, it's a steal! Something Trump knows all about.
Morning...can someone please buy one and use it as target practice..
At least that way you maybe able to find someone who can shoot straight..
LOL, got any oz coins minted with holes in them on that sandbar, mate?
Ahh nope not on this sandbar..
We only have whole coins, you get more bang for your buck..😊
Speaking of using coins for targets ... (It's not a Kangaroo Western, though. Bourbon & beans, no Vegemite.)
What? No certificate of authenticity??
Avoid disappointment and future regret!
Walk away.
the same amount of gold without the image of a maga asshole on it goes for $7500 less ...
and a "defining patriotic moment"
The defining patriotic moment will come the day Trump is forced out of office
