US treasurer says officials looking at drafts for country’s 250th anniversary featuring president with raised fist

To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the US’s independence, the treasury department is mulling production of a $1 coin displaying Donald Trump with a clenched first under an American flag and the words “fight, fight, fight”.

The words overtly reference what Trump said immediately after narrowly surviving an assassination attempt four months before he won a second presidency.

Jokes on you. Legality doesn't matter if they're gonna do it anyway.

It sure looked like prearranged acting when trumps ear bled and he stood up and yelled fight (3 times...just like Hitler).

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 58 points 2 days ago

Commemorating his call to commit treason on Jan 6. Wonderful.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 52 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What better way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of ditching the old dictator than by celebrating the new one.

[–] s@piefed.world 11 points 2 days ago

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago

melt it down into slugs

He is a pedophile, a dictator, a rapist, and a fraud.

These coins will be another shit stain on America.

This is what happens when we fail to educate Americans. School system fell too far behind while the wealthy kept evading taxes

after narrowly surviving an assassination attempt

Yeah at this point with how weird everything was and how they were purposefully lining up media to take photos, I'm on the side of it being a wrestling-inspired "ketchup packet" move.

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah super weird the way that a dude on a stage with a ton of photographers around him has a good photo taken of him. You never see badass photos taken at an nfl game or anything. This is real evidence of a conspiracy.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

An NFL game doesn't usually have an active sniper situation happening where the person they're taking a photo of by all means shouldn't be standing up again so the sniper can get another shot off. Nor are they usually shuffled into place by the staff of the person who was shot at for a great photo opportunity.

But sure, let's compare it to something entirely different and not life threatening, that makes sense.

Sure whatever you think.

[–] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm game. Curious how one would explain the other people shot and killed or injured? That there was a real sniper intentionally missing?

Or the NYT photographing what seems to be the bullet in mid-air? If a real sniper missing intentionally, would have been an incredible shot to safely miss at that proximity.

[–] SpookyLights@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No one is debating that there wasn't a weapon fired and that someone was killed. Some folks round these parts just think that the gun wasn't aimed at the supposed target, and that said target then faked an injury to make it look like an attempt.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I think it was all blood from the victim, that’s why there was no scar after the fact. Old people don’t heal that fast, and the big bandaid at the convention was just for show.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Next up: the words "positive" and "negative" will be changed into "Trump" and "Trump".

You are HIV Trump. 😊😔😊😔

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 day ago

If this happens I will refuse to take it as change

Nothing narrow about it...

Shot wasn't anywhere near him, he's just on so much blood thinners a tiny scratch bled like crazy

Someone reason his hand turns into a giant bruise from handshakes.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fuck tar and feathering, press this shit out of tin and throw them at republicans. Make sure to throw it like a skipping stone.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Preferably out of some sort of device that propels it extremely fast

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

It will be plated in fake gold that flakes off in 6 months and turns your fingers green if you hold it too long.

Cadet bone spurs has only ever ~~fought~~ attacked women and children

Imma lay a handful of these on the train tracks. Flat, Flat, FLAT!

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 13 points 2 days ago

Oh those are good labels for bullet casings.

This will not cause inflation at all. /s

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Is he calling us out to fight him? I think I could take him easily.

[–] BoloMKXXVIII@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As long as the picture shows him behind bars...

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Or that mug shot. Engrave it with "never surrender"

What a weirdo. This clearly belongs in the trash.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I am sure it will smell like shit.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

"Ugh, what's that [smell]?!"

"MY ASS"
