A sweeping redesign of America’s currency for the nation’s 250th anniversary has ignited fresh controversy, with a proposal now circulating that places President Donald Trump at the center of a commemorative $1 coin.

According to the online materials tied to the Mint’s semiquincentennial planning, new illustrations of Trump have been drafted for the obverse of a potential 2026 dollar coin. At the same time, concept art for earlier “America 250” quarters—once built around themes such as abolition, women’s suffrage, and civil rights—has reportedly been shelved in favor of a return to more traditional, founding-era motifs.

The Mint’s broader 2026 redesign calls for all coins to bear dual dates honoring both the birth of the nation and its 250-year milestone. As part of this shift, officials have previewed imagery steeped in Revolutionary-era symbolism, including iconic documents and scenes tied to America’s founding. These new directions come after the abandonment of concepts initiated during the Biden years that placed greater emphasis on later chapters of American social progress.

A series of five quarters is expected for 2026, each tied to a pivotal historical text or event: the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Revolutionary War, the U.S. Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address.

Treasurer Brandon Beach has acknowledged that a Trump-themed dollar is being weighed, and several reports describe mock-ups portraying Trump’s profile on one side and, on the other, an image of him thrusting his fist upward following the 2024 assassination attempt, accompanied by the words “FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.”

The idea, however, runs directly into federal restrictions prohibiting living presidents—current or past—from appearing on U.S. coinage. Advocates of the new coin insist that special semiquincentennial authorities could offer legal leeway, while opponents argue it would violate long-established practice and risk politicizing the nation’s money.

Within conservative circles, the controversy is framed as part of a larger cultural battle over how America’s 250th birthday should be told: whether through the nation’s founding ideals and foundational texts or through what they see as the left’s negative reinterpretations of American history.

Alongside these debates, the Mint is also preparing updates to long-standing circulating coins for 2026. Even the dime—whose appearance has been unchanged for eight decades—is scheduled for a refresh. And although the penny exited daily circulation in 2025, collectors will still be able to obtain it in annual Mint sets, complete with the commemorative “1776 ~ 2026” dual date.

The man accused in the killing of Charlie Kirk returned to court this week, and a newly analyzed off-mic exchange revealed disturbing remarks that shed light on his mindset in the months since the shooting, the NY Post report. A professional lip-reading review of the courtroom footage suggests that Tyler Robinson repeatedly referenced the attack and even brought up Kirk’s widow, Erika, in a chilling aside to his attorney.

As Robinson entered the Provo, Utah, courtroom on Thursday—his first in-person appearance more than three months after the shooting—he appeared composed, even sharing a quiet laugh with his lawyer. Yet the lip-reading analysis captured a far darker tone beneath the surface. One portion of the footage shows him saying, “I think about the shooting daily,” a remark attributed to a private moment before the hearing began. He went on to add, “Every morning … all the time.”

The analysis indicates that Robinson then shifted to the subject of Kirk’s family, referencing the activist’s widow, who is raising their two young children alone. At one point, the lip reader caught him saying, “So, he had a wife….”

Other snippets appeared to show Robinson speaking about his own state of mind. According to the review, he confessed privately to his lawyer that he’s been “smoking a lot … Not sleeping at night … it’s driving me mental.” He continued with, “Unfortunately, it’s doing my head in. I’m not good for anything.”

Despite those alleged comments, Robinson displayed little visible distress while standing before the judge, wearing a plain blue button-down shirt paired with an argyle tie. Prosecutors say he opened fire on the 31-year-old conservative activist on September 10 during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University, attacking in front of thousands of attendees.

Thursday’s proceedings were expected to address two issues: whether cameras would be permitted in the courtroom and whether portions of an earlier October phone-hearing transcript—regarding Robinson’s right to appear in street clothes—would be released to the public. Robinson’s defense opposed both. Judge Tony Graf spent more than two hours behind closed doors considering arguments, ultimately postponing any decision.

A new hearing was set for December 29, when the judge is scheduled to issue rulings on the outstanding matters.

Robinson remains held on multiple serious charges, including aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, two counts of witness tampering, and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child.
