This might be misinformation

However, it was unclear at the time of this writing whether Trump or his administration had ordered anyone to wear golden Trump lapel pins.

A White House official said via email: "Obviously, we did not order officials to wear this pin. If they choose to wear one, it is to show support for the greatest President in history." Brendan Carr, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair seen in photos wearing the golden Trump lapel pin, had not responded to requests for comment about why he wore the pin at the time of this writing.

Don't get me wrong, even then that people are starting to wear it is weird, but integrity should still be kept in reporting the facts instead of reporting speculation as fact.

Oh, these sort of things are never required. It's just, if you don't wear one they'll know you're not on their team. If you're truly loyal, you don't need to be told to wear one, you voluntarily choose to wear it. Any prefential treatment to those wearing it is completely coincidental, of course, wink wink.
