    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.

    “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)

        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.

            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.

              Now that I use Euros, while they are nicer looking than the US bills, they aren’t very nice compared to a lot of other countries.

    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.

    Idiots! Should have made a brand new $500 bill for this! Would work out a lot better with inflation. Great for buying eggs.

      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.

    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.

        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.

    Imagine living in a country with the face of a felon rapist traitor on our currency.

    Brought to you by dipshit conservatives.

    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.

    Changing U.S. law would be necessary to allow living people to appear on currency.

    Or he could, ya know, die.

    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.
