Overview
- Reports show Trump-branded commemorative medallions tied to the Freedom 250 UFC card were put on sale online on June 9 through RealTrumpCoins.com.
- The coins are listed at prices ranging from $249.99 up to $11,999.99 and the site states the pieces were “designed” by President Trump.
- Multiple outlets reported that some proceeds from the sales are expected to flow to DTTM Operations LLC, the president’s licensing company.
- The Freedom 250 event is still scheduled for June 14 on the White House South Lawn and has drawn scrutiny over million-dollar sponsorship packages, invite allocations, and security and logistical burdens for federal and local agencies.
- A new lawsuit alleging corruption tied to the event has been filed and a judge has requested a response, while public criticism and some fighters declining invitations continue to fuel political and ethical debate.
