It's all just ring-polishing stuff to openly declare fealty to him.
Same as the third term stuff.
They don't actually care if it works, only that they have proof of it to show him down the road.
The dogs in the back of the pack.
That’s scary.
This was absolutely on my 2025 bingo card along with plans for a new face on Mount Rushmore and a mountain, river, or national park being named after him.
I've seen 3D printed Mount Rushmore replicas that have trump as a 5th face.
I'm naming a toilet bowl after him.
I'm too afraid the orange will wear off on my ass so I'll be shitting in the woods.
OMG !!! Ass did not change into a** !! THANK YOU lemmy.world

That's gonna be tough when he gets rid of all of the park rangers.
He will just make a mcdonalds a national park and name that after himself
You forgot Constitutional Amendment to allow a 3rd term.

I thought only deceased people with a positive influence on society could end up on money. The latter requirement will never happen, and the way he acts many will think it's about time the met the first requirment.
Yeah unfortunately Andrew Jackson’s still on money so…
Guy who dissolved America's Bank on the 20. Guy who started it on the 10.
Guy who won a lot of duels on the 20. Guy who died in one on the 10.
Guy who started the New York manumission society and went on to trade slaves for his father in law on the ten, guy who did an unconstitutional and judicially rejected genocide on the 20.
Supposedly the smaller notes are the higher honor but the way the US works I'm not sure that's true.

Changing U.S. law would be necessary to allow living people to appear on currency.
Or he could, ya know, die.
Well, congress knows what to do now to get him on the bill. Just need an execution rider.
Idiots! Should have made a brand new $500 bill for this! Would work out a lot better with inflation. Great for buying eggs.
"Gazillion bucks". On the back put the Monopoly guy with a top hat and monocle.
Yeah when I was 20, $100 was grocery money for the month. Now it's groceries for 3-4 days. It doesn't help that I always have a house full of teenagers.
Musk can be the $1,000,000 bill in Weimer America, suitable for buying a single omelet.
Silly, he get big balls to conjure up million dollar bitcoins from thin air to replace dollars. Plus they will all be purchased with low and middle income American taxpayers dollars.

Every emperor mints coins bearing his face when accessing the throne.
"proposal"
Guys like always with GOP proposals, theyre just not realistic in any way.
I could list a hundred reasons from drug cartel soft power to petrodollar to NK USD forging (they're the fucking best at it, better than US mints)
Changing the Gulf of Mexico was also just a proposal before he aped it for an eo.
Having one company change one field of text to add parentheses for some Trump delusional bs is a bit different than changing the US dollars in circulation.
I don't think you understand just how big of a difference it actually is.
Except that the Republicans (that want and are pushing this) control: A) The presidency B) The Senate C) The US House of Representatives
The Democrats (that would oppose this) are in a majority, and thus control, have.... None.
This "proposal" is much more likely than you may think.
Keep drinking your copium. I'm sure it'll help against reality.
Actually what I'm drinking is a nice Tempranillo-Syrah blend, and I really couldn't give a shit about what dollars look like.
Our money is superior.

We really are on the Biff Tannen timeline.
Tanner was based on him, in case you didn’t know.
Edit; I put “Tannen” I swear.

That's fair. It will be used a lot, as it is about the price of a box of eggs at the end of this year.
Its fucked up vain bullshit. His maggots might like his shitty face in their purses but the sane folks elsewhere should burn it
Ahh yes, Benjamin Franklin, founding father, inventor of the bifocals, lightning rod, and Franklin stove, first postmaster general, founder of the University of Pennsylvania, signed the constitution and the declaration of independence along with drafting the latter. Definitely not nearly as important to this country as Donald Trump, who is singlehandedly keeping the orange spray tan market alive.
