In the tradition of USA currency being only for dead presidents - I will gladly allow Trump's face on any bill if he's the one to pull the trigger
That's actually a far point
Didnt another person submit for Trump to be on like a $250 bill?
Fuck it you know what put his face on every bill. Trump clearly saved the USA and should be considered its only founding father from now on. Replace all the symbolism and stuff on the back of bills with pictures of Mar a Lago and Bedminster. Maybe Trump Towers too.
God this is the worst timeline. Someone go back and save Harambe.

Good thing they already put the "TP" logo on there so I won't forget to wipe my ass with it.
So....America....you guys really are about a step-and-a-half away from this?
Get your shit together. Christ.
Already nose diving face first. Steps are gone.

Oh look frivolous spending.

He's getting rid of the pennies and nickles in favor of this
President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family," Gill told Fox News Digital. "Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime...
- Wasn't he golfing yesterday?
- We all know he hates his family and is happy to avoid them.
- "Took a bullet" is akin to me saying I was stabbed in the face by a deranged idiot when I cut myself shaving.
- Working overtime at what exactly? Are his tiny chode fingers getting tired from signing a few bits of paper?

new toilet paper just dropped
Just fucking pathetic.
I saw the onion logo and thought "heh, that's funny". Then I re-read the name of the community...
Surely this will be the policy to finally bring egg prices down
Will that lower grocery prices?
lol .... by the time they do pass regulations and laws to do all this .... 1 Trump will be worth nothing
It will be like the German Reichsmark and they'll be printing out so much of it, that these paper bills will be more valuable as a fuel source to cook your food than in actually purchasing anything of value.
“1 Trump will be worth nothing” vs the immense value one Trump has now. lol.
Just in case people didn't know they were heading into a personality cult dictatorship already.

Just so everyone's aware, it's super duper illegal to deface currency.
So like, it would be against the law to use a sharpie to add a Hitler mustache to Trump's face on said dollar bill; or add an arm extended in a Nazi salute; or add swastikas over 'god' where it says "In god we trust"; to then bring it to a bank and report that you received defaced currency and would like to exchange it for new bills, only to do it all again.
So... y'know, probably don't do those things.
Sidenote: I spent a couple of years working in Nigeria. Almost all bank notes there had some scribble on it, as it frequently doubled as note paper. When you don't have Post-its, cash will do, I guess.
It's not illegal as long as you're not trying to get it out of circulation, advertise, or pass off one denomination as another. So deface away.
(note: I am not a lawyer, do not believe some random person on the internet)
It's more a legally gray area in the US that as far as I can find from a quick search has never been settled in court. It likely isn't worth the time for police to go after either even if it was more explicitly illegal.
That might change if there's a sudden surge in people drawing on $100 bills, but who uses $100s that often anyway? Most ATMs I used only dispense $20s. It often isn't worth the trip to the bank, and the US is unfortunately mostly cashless now.
But to be clear: fuck this fascist bullshit and resist in whatever ways you can

At this rate he might do it himself.

Man, these bootlickers are so pathetic. The lengths they go to to kiss his ass would be cringe even if it was towards an actual great person. The fact that it's directed at this hateful, disgusting man is the saddest thing...
What a massive waste of taxpayer money.
What a massive defacement of taxpayer money.
A great idea. Then, when you have to spend four donalds for a carton of eggs you'll remember why voting for con-men is a bad idea.
$4? Shit it was $6 at the local Aldi yesterday.
Shhh… do you even know how easy that will be to forge? ;) ;)
