Hey there.

It's the NPR Politics Podcast.

I'm Miles Parks.

I cover voting.

And today on the show, President Trump is everywhere.

Not just in the news, but literally.

He and his allies are working to get his face and his name on more and more U.S.

government stuff.

We're going to talk today about whether that matters.

So, Tam, I want to start with coins.

I know that Trump could potentially appear on two different new ones.

Can you tell us more about this?

I was going to say, you could technically make a coin even larger, much, you know, the size of the room, the size of, I don't know, Washington, D.C.

Okay, got it.

I mean, what is it specifically that they have a problem with when it comes to these coins?

This whole coin thing is going to be a back and forth that we're going to be monitoring, I guess, over the next couple of weeks and months, probably.

Yeah.

Notoriously a body of government that feels emboldened to stand up to the president.

If we were just talking about coins, I feel like that would be one thing where we could debate, you know, what is the right amount of time after a president has died or left office to end up on a coin?

But this is a broader thing with Trump, right, in terms of wanting to get his name on things.
