So....America....you guys really are about a step-and-a-half away from this?

Get your shit together. Christ.

There's already proposals to put his face on Mt Rushmore, so yes.

If they do, the mountain would collapse. They should go for it.

I don't know what this image is, but I'm pretty sure later in life he's going to assemble the power rangers.

It was Benito Mussolini's headquarters in Rome during WW2

Already nose diving face first. Steps are gone.

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 36 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

How much will that cost the taxpayers?

[–] modeler@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

Their pride.

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 3 points 11 hours ago

I mean...not much at all. A redesign & print, then just business as usual. It's not like we're going to stop printing hundreds.

Now we're finally killing the penny (yay), and I would even argue hell, let's get rid of the nickel, too. I know there will be a little pain involved, but especially post/mid crazy inflation....my god. WHAT is the purchasing power of a goddamn penny or nickel?? I mean who are we kidding with this nonsense, minting coins with no real value?? Junk.

Time to invest in orange ink

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

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 14 hours ago

the way trumpflation is going it'll be worth $100 anyway

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 64 points 19 hours ago

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...

[–] Whateley@lemm.ee 6 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] TheObviousSolution@kbin.melroy.org 46 points 18 hours ago

Just in case people didn't know they were heading into a personality cult dictatorship already.

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

What a massive waste of taxpayer money.

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

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I recall a Brit (I think?) giving a rundown on European slang, and it was something akin to pence meaning "fart", so all the stickers that said "Trump Pence" looked to them like stickers that boldly proclaimed "Fart Trumpet!" ...which is kinda just synonymous anyway, but it lined up nicely!

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 15 points 14 hours 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

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.cafe 3 points 11 hours ago

Right, well, Trump & Pence haven't been on great terms since 2020. So I don't think he'd appreciate the Trump-pence coin. You're clever, though, never thought of that.

Doesn't DJT has to die soon for that?

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 35 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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

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

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

Looks like I'll be buying American toilet paper after all! 😒
