[United States] - The State Self Mints Its Leader Into Currency, Proving the Illusion of Democratic Power

Event Baseline: The United States Mint has produced a $1 coin featuring President Trump, making him the first living president on US currency in a century. The coin is stamped with the words 'LIBERTY' and 'IN GOD WE TRUST'.

The leader and the money. Two symbols of power. The self merges them. It stamps a face on the object of exchange. Now the self is in every pocket. This is not honor. It is idolatry. The nation is not a person. The person is not the nation. But the self demands a god. The coin is a prayer. It says: this is us. But it is only metal. The state self is a machine that produces symbols to feed its own illusion. Democracy dies when the head of state becomes the currency. The living face on dead metal is the perfect image of a self that has replaced reality with its own image.
