DeSantis gifts Trump a custom gold coin depicting him flipping the bird

Gov. Ron DeSantis presented President Donald Trump with a gift as he arrived in the state for a campaign rally on Friday.

DeSantis greeted Trump on the Southwest Florida International Airport tarmac and handed him a gold coin reading “You missed b*****s” alongside an image of Trump flipping the bird.

The gold coin seemingly references the multiple assassination attempts Trump has endured, including the shooting at a 2024 Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and a second attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Trump later addressed a crowd at Florida Gulf Coast University, trying to boost Florida Sen. Ashley Moody, who is looking to keep her seat, and Rep. Byron Donalds in his effort to be elected governor.

Trump opened the rally with a misrepresentation of his 2024 vote totals, suggesting he got “millions and millions” more votes than any other candidate ever has. Trump got more than 77 million votes in 2024 but Joe Biden got 81 million votes to defeat Trump in 2020.
