<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26049191, member: 101855&quot;]It seems that Trump does not have officicial inaugural medal. In the past the medals have been used as fund raisers for the inaugural events, but it seems like Trump had so many contributors that they didn&#039;t need to do it. Newly installed presidents also used the medals as thank yous for those who had contributed or worked on their election campaigns.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one of the two unofficial medals that were issued for Trump in 2017. These were issued by the Ohio Republicans.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1656265[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1656266[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>There have been a lot of comments about how Trump was one of the great political comeback stories in history. Before Trump, the biggest political surprise was the election of Harry Truman in 1948. Interestingly the artist who designed the 1949 Truman medal, C. Paul Jennewein, included a tribute to the common man voters who supported Truman in the lower left side of the design on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1656267[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1656268[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have any presidential inaugural medals, feel free to post them. If there are any you would like to see, I have many of them, but not all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
