President Trump sported a unique accessory at the White House on Friday — a custom lapel pin depicting what he called a "happy Trump."
The president wore the small pin, which appeared to be a cartoon-style depiction of himself in a navy suit and red tie, just beneath his customary American flag lapel pin while meeting with oil and gas executives in the East Room of the White House.
Fox News' Senior White House Correspondent Peter Doocy noticed the accessory and asked the president about it.
"I see the American flag lapel pin," Doocy asked. "What is the other lapel pin?"

Trump explained that the pin was a gift.
"Somebody gave me this. You know what that is? That's called a ‘happy Trump,'" the president said, holding up the pin.
"And consider the fact that I'm never happy. I'm never satisfied. I will never be satisfied until we make America great again. But we're getting pretty close," he said.

"Where can I get a happy Trump pin?" another asked.
"Only our wonderful President Trump! He is wearing a "Happy Trump" pin because he says he'll never be happy until America is Great Again...but we're getting close! Hilarious!" a third user wrote.
