WASHINGTON - On Friday, President Donald Trump shared that he received a tiny pin of himself dubbed a "Happy Trump" pin but insisted he’s "never happy."

What they're saying:

"Considering the fact that I’m never happy, I’m never satisfied," the president continued, holding out his lapel and looking down at the pin, then looking back at reporters with a playful smirk. "I will never be satisfied until we make America great again, but we’re getting pretty close, I tell you what. This is called a Happy Trump."

The pin features Trump with a cartoonishly large head and open-mouthed expression that some online immediately said looked like a bobblehead version of the president. Trump didn't say who gave him the pin.

Trump wore the pin during an event at the White House with oil executives to discuss the United States’ future control of Venezuela’s energy industry.

Trump wore a pin with the same design at least once before, during a ceremony in February to swear in Tulsi Gabbard as his Director of National Intelligence — though he didn't comment on it then.

Online searching revealed a Trump lapel pin featuring what appears to be the same design — bundled together with a pin imposing an American flag over an outline of a U.S. map — available for sale on Amazon for $9.99.
