God Trump is such a narcissist. I'm sure he wanted every dollar bill but $100 is the highest denomination.

They'll probably settle on creating a higher denomination. I mean, it's not like it would be hard to justify having a higher denomination. The US Treasury used to issue higher denomination bank notes., but the highest has been the $100 note since 1934. We've had quite a lot of cumulative inflation since then. Sure, cash is less important now than it was in the past. But if just by inflation, a $1000 note would be appropriate. So maybe as a compromise you issue $250 and $500 notes.

Or maybe he'll just mint a ten trillion dollar platinum coin with his mug on it. Then have the treasury deposit it in the president's personal bank account as "a tip for good public service."

And American politics is a farce, so they're well situated for a surface level inside scoop.

Time to invest in orange ink

This some alternate timeline bs, but also a great metaphor for what's going on in the US.

President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family…”

You mean like… exactly what he’s doing now?

I've never wiped my ass with a hundred before but in this case I'm willing to try it.
