Social media lit up with posts about the White House gift shop’s offerings after President Donald Trump left Walter Reed Medical Center Monday. The gift shop started advertising “President Donald J. Trump Defeats COVID” coins over the weekend.
The gift shop, however, is not affiliated with the White House.
The “historic moments in history” coin is available only through the gift shop, which PolitiFact points out is under the operation of a private company.
In spite of that, posts on social media have inaccurately accused the administration of profiting from Trump’s diagnosis with the virus that has killed over 200,000 Americans.
