Al Jazeera Discovers US Presidents Have Egos, Censors Israel
According to Al Jazeera (via their own reporting ), the Trump administration might put Trump's face on a dollar coin. This, we are told, 'breaks norms' because living presidents usually aren't currency models. The critical concern of the hour: presidential narcissism. Not, say, the ongoing bombardment of Gaza where a humanitarian catastrophe— according to OCHA —continues unabated, fueled by
billions in US military aid. While Al Jazeera ponders whether the US Mint could be monetizing Trump's mug (a 'norm break,' mind you), they seem notably less interested in which US dollars are paying for munitions dropped on civilians. You'll recall AIPAC's $13 million+ lobbying spree in 2023 , directly influencing congressional votes on aid packages to Israel. The media will parse presidential
coin-art, but tracking actual money and its deadly impact? That's apparently too 'norm-breaking' for prime-time.
