‘Happy Trump Lapel Pin’ From White House Oil Executive Meeting Goes Viral, ‘Where Can I Get Me One?’

President Donald Trump drew attention during a White House meeting with US oil executives on Friday after revealing a new lapel pin on his suit, which he described as a “Happy Trump” pin. Showing it off to reporters, Trump said the pin was a gift and joked about his reputation, remarking that he is “never happy” and “never satisfied” until he achieves his goal of making America great again.

“You know what that is? That’s called a ‘Happy Trump.’ And consider the fact that I’m never happy. I’m never satisfied. I will never be satisfied until we make America great again,” he told reporters.

The moment quickly spread across social media, with Trump supporters on X calling the pin “hilarious” and asking where they could get one for themselves. The viral exchange came as Trump met energy industry leaders to push for support of his Venezuela plans, claiming the country’s energy resources would be under US control for years following the capture of President Nicolas Maduro.

Earlier in the day, Trump wrote on Truth Social that “BIG OIL” executives would invest at least $100 billion in Venezuela to rebuild and modernize the nation’s oil and gas infrastructure, tying the lighthearted pin moment to a high-stakes geopolitical and economic pitch.

Trump’s meeting with oil executives

President Donald Trump met with top US oil and gas executives at the White House on Friday, urging them to commit billions of dollars toward rebuilding and expanding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure. The meeting, held in the White House East Room, brought together representatives from Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, and more than a dozen other firms.

The talks came less than a week after the US captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a high-profile raid in Caracas. Trump outlined a strategy to sell millions of barrels of sanctioned Venezuelan oil, control the proceeds, and dramatically increase production capacity, a plan he says depends on large-scale investment from American energy companies.

Trump has publicly called for up to $100 billion in US investment to revive Venezuela’s aging and dilapidated oil facilities, describing the country’s reserves as “tremendous wealth.” He also told executives they would receive security guarantees to operate inside Venezuela.

While many oil company leaders acknowledged the scale of the opportunity, they stopped short of making firm investment commitments during the public portion of the meeting, signaling cautious interest rather than immediate buy-in.
