Ron DeSantis Donald Trump You Missed Bitches Challenge Coin

On 23 October 2026, Donald Trump stepped off Air Force One at Southwest Florida International Airport ahead of a rally in Fort Myers. Ron DeSantis met him on the tarmac and handed him a custom gold coin. Trump held it up for reporters: a smiling portrait of himself giving the finger, with “You Missed” arched across the top and “Bitches” along the bottom. DeSantis said a friend in Florida had made it.

The gold-tone face: Trump’s portrait framed by “You Missed” and “Bitches”.

Why the Moment Spread

The coin landed in the news for two reasons. DeSantis and Trump were rivals in the 2024 Republican primary, so the gift drew attention as a sign of how far the relationship had moved. And the wording was read by many outlets as a reference to the assassination attempts Trump has survived, though neither man explained it. Within hours the photo of Trump holding the coin was everywhere, which is why a replica works as a keepsake of that day.

The Fort Myers rally itself was for Congressman Byron Donalds, Trump’s pick in the 2026 race for Florida governor, the office DeSantis leaves after two terms. The coin turned a campaign stop into the most shared image of the trip.

This coin is a novelty replica of the design, not the original gift and not an official government or campaign item.

Challenge Coins in American Life

Challenge coins grew out of US military units, where members carried a unit coin and could be “challenged” to show it. Presidents, agencies and units now hand them out as tokens of recognition. This one borrows that tradition and gives it a punchline, which is exactly why it gets picked up and passed around on a desk.
