Axelrod left with egg on face after falling for fake Trump gold coin meme

David Axelrod, former chief strategist to President Barack Obama and CNN political commentator, has the internet wondering what he’s doing.

X user Stephen Miller, aka “Redsteeze,” published a screenshot of a now-deleted post from Axelrod that appears to promote a fake gold coin from President Donald Trump. The coin was obviously a joke, but it isn’t clear whether Axelrod knew that at the time.

Look:

So @davidaxelrod just deleted this post. Would you like to know why? pic.twitter.com/aIYcd639C3

While this post specifically was deleted, another post about the coin appeared in its place, which bore the same caption with a typo fixed and the word “commemorative” in the description.

Look:

Hot off the presses!

So is Axelrod fluent in satire, or did he fall for obvious bait?

X users weighed in:

This coin does not exist. It is a satirical meme only.
Axelrod presumably fell for the joke.

The irony of Axelrod calling out election integrity given the shady strategies he executed during BHO’s campaigns. What a POS.

How funny would it be if @realDonaldTrump used this exact design just to launch the TDS-afflicted into orbit? It would track with his penchant for epic trolling.

The more the Dems joke about election integrity, the better the GOP looks.

There’s a reason sane people don’t joke about slavery or partial birth abortion.

If a washed-up Dem hack wants to crack election fraud jokes, leave him be. Keep it up, hun – you’re doing great!

Not only did the US Mint make an Obama Bronze coin in his first term, he won a frigging Nobel Peace Prize before taking office and then bombed 7 countries, 5 without Congressional approval. 1,996 U.S. soldiers killed in action during his 2 terms. pic.twitter.com/U5kpZsoE6R

Barack Hussein Obama’s (@BarackObama) “brain trust” is made up of the biggest idiots in politics, like David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod).

This is why the elected Democrats are so dumb. https://t.co/7OhiLJelvB
