(DCNF)—President Donald Trump said Thursday that MSNBC hosts Nicolle Wallace and Rachel Maddow should be “forced to resign” over their remarks about the 13-year-old cancer patient who became an honorary Secret Service agent during the president’s congressional address.
Maddow accused the awarding of Devarjaye “D.J.” Daniel, who has suffered from brain cancer, with a Secret Service badge during Tuesday’s congressional address as a “disgusting” political ploy, while Wallace invoked the child to criticize Trump for the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. While signing executive orders, Trump said the hosts should resign over their “disgraceful” remarks about the boy “who is suffering greatly.”
“Frankly what Nicolle Wallace said, I’ve never been a fan of hers and she’s not very talented, but I’ll tell you what she said the other day about that young man is disgraceful. She should be forced to resign, and Rachel Maddow should be forced to resign,” Trump said. “Nobody watches [Maddow] anyway, it’s not possible they pay her as much money as I hear. But she’s lost all credibility, both of them. But what they said the other day, they should be forced to resign [for what they said] about that young person who is suffering greatly.”
Wallace said that she hopes Daniel “never has to defend the U.S. Capitol” against Trump and his supporters.
“But I hope [Daniel] never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump’s supporters, and if he does, I hope he isn’t one of the six who loses his life to suicide, and I hope he isn’t one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then lived to see Donald Trump pardon those people,” Wallace said.
Maddow said the president “made a spectacle” out of the young boy by supposedly pretending to help fight pediatric cancer.
“For the record, and this is disgusting, the president made a spectacle out of praising a young man who thus far has survived pediatric cancer as if the president had something to do with that,” Maddow claimed. “This was in the midst of him praising [the Department of Government Efficiency], [and] DOGE cuts among other things, have cut off funding for ongoing research into pediatric cancer.”
Daniel’s father, Theodis, condemned Maddow and Wallace’s remarks about the honoring of his son in a statement to the New York Post.
“[Maddow] needs to shut her mouth if she has nothing nice to say,” the father said. “This lady didn’t even serve time in the military. I was on the USS Kitty Hawk. She does not need to put her bad energy on us.”
Democrats refused to stand and applaud for Daniel, angel mothers who lost their children to illegal immigrants or 19-year-old athlete Peyton McNabb, who suffered from brain injuries as a result of competing against a transgender-identifying man. Trump signed an executive order Tuesday, announced during his address, to rename the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge after 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was sexually assaulted and murdered by two illegal immigrants, to commemorate her love of animals and wildlife.

Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
