When he's done, that bill will be as worthless as he is.

Yeah, this seems like bad timing since it looks like the recession formally started today.

Not technically yet, but effectively.

Excellent news since only dead people are permitted on $US. When's he dying? I have March 5th 2025 in the pool.

Personally, I'm hoping it falls on my birthday

Whatever. Go for it, cultists.

This type of shit is just noise meant to distract and overwhelm people from paying attention to the stuff that matters.

How much will that cost the taxpayers?

I'm not surprised. Honestly I had wondered why he hasn't already tried this.

He also wants to be on mt rushmore. Which from what I hear, the mountain wouldn't be able to support a 5th head, or a makeover of one of the 4.

So if they try, the whole thing will crumble. So go ahead. Just try. I'd love to see that whole monument crumble, and even better if it's just to try to satisfy one persons ego.

good way to cause a run on $50 bills when everyone refuses to accept a $100

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Don't you have to be dead to be on currency? If so he can be on any bill he wants long as he is dead.

As a Brit, for whom the colloquial for pennies is "pence" like "ten pence" is 10p, I feel he's missing a trick not putting his fat leather apron of a face on the nickel or dime. Because then you could have "Trump pence". You could call it a Trumpence

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

That is pretty clever. Except it would already be dated since Trump attempted to get Pence lynched by an angry mob a few years back

Well if they do that, I'll draw at least 2 dicks pointed towards his mouth on each one that I handle

Why not have two genocidal maniacs on our currency at this point.

SpoilerAndrew Jackson moment

Not putting him on the $100,000 bill is slap in the face.
