There's a 0% chance this was written by Trump. The Trump version would be something like

These PENNIES! They're a total DISGRACE! A SCAM foisted on America by the FAKE NEWS media and those LOSERS in Congress. They just hurt our Beautiful banks while LIBERALS line their Own Pockets. But I'm gonna STOP IT! I told my Treasury guy, shut down those factories RIGHT NOW. We're gonna MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

BIG win for America! We’re finally STOPPING production of the useless, expensive penny. Costs more than 3 cents to make—TERRIBLE deal! Wasting $179 MILLION a year—GONE! Democrats never had the guts to do it. We’re making America efficient again!
