These bills are the first to fuel the fireplace during the Greater Depression.
Makes me glad I almost never handle cash then.
Though if I do wind up with money with his name scrawled on it I'm gonna take it somewhere to trade it in with some nice, elaborate (but polite) commentary on the Orange graffiti.
real graffiti can be really nice and expressive art
It can be but it's usually just some dipshit scrawling his name on things.
It is so tragice for our US cousins that they have a spoiled and soiled baby in the Whitehouse.
I'd like to think they won't do this (to the rest of the world) again, but he is already in his second term saying that he will be here for longer.
The world must move away from the Dollar for its own safety.
A pedo stamp on every bill. They really want to lose reserve currency status quickly.
Money shouldn't have anyone's signature. Such ugly vanity should be illegal.
australia’s notes all have tiny signatures of the governor of the reserve bank, and the secretary to the treasury and have for at least as long as i can remember… i don’t think it’s a vanity thing in that case

US also puts the signature of the Secretary of Treasury on it. This was Jacob Lew's:

US bills already have the signature of the Treasury Secretary
Yeah i was just thinking this,
Other fun facts there's the poem from a man from snowy River on our 10 dollar note
I'm impressed at their creativity in devaluing the dollar in a new way every day!
and Gold down
What, with like an auto-pen or something?
Right if he hasn't signed it himself it can't be legal tender

U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach said in a statement that printing Trump’s signature on the American currency “is not only appropriate, but also well deserved.”
The exact opposite of this is true.
The exact opposite of this is true.
Wait, are you saying that U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach didn't say this or that it isn't appropriate or well-deserved? /serious
I was claiming that the treasurer lied.
Oh okay. Thanks. ^_^
What a great way to ensure all money is defaced and will cost extra to constantly reissue it.
I will be sure to write child fucker under his name on every note I see.
Oh yeah, I'm going to vandalize every one that goes through my hands. Traitor, Pedophile, rapist, draw a dick in mouth, coming on his face, etc. And I'm going to take photos of any good I see before passing them along.
At first I was pissed about it, but now I'm going to have fun.
How long before the first person dies because the cops try and arrest someone who defaced one.
If that’s the case it better be the cop.
FUCK THE PEDODOLLAR
RAPEBUCKS ARE GROSS

This must be how they plan to sell America on crypto.
I will redact his name on every one I get.
Stock market tip: BUY stock in sharpies.
Pretty sure its illegal but its less illegal than his face on it.
"Illegal" never stopped him...
You'd be surprised, the courts blocked most of his federal worker firings from DOGE and forced him to renew funding to Medicaid, SNAP, and other federal programs. They've shut down ICE camps before, lots of ongoing cases such as U.S. District Judge Zahid N. Quraishi refusing to even hear the DOJ's case for DHS detaining without warrants or hearings unless all 3 highest level DOJ officers testify under oath.
There has been a lot of capitulation by the courts to the Trump Admin, we haven't been able to prevent ICE building camps for the most part and we weren't able to save USAID, but there has been a lot of resistance as well and I don't think enough credit is given for that.
Oh I’m sure they’ll rule it illegal 10 years from now, once those damn bills are circulating everywhere.
That's one way to destroy the cash economy...
I might go all in on contactless payment.
Capitulation to the techbros in advance
Yes, never forget that those fuckers are in on this too.
In every fascist system, the capitalist elite always buddy up to the ones in power because to not do so threatens that capital and, thus, their wealth.
I'm thinking gold and those colorful European dollarydoos.
Better not use an autopen!
So this makes me wonder about legends of demonic possession.
In a sense, it could be said that Donald Trump is not President of the United States, because Donald Trump in a sense doesn't even exist as an individual. Instead, he's essentially a vehicle for his gargantuan ego. He's really just a sort of mindless zombie, lurching from one thing to another as his ego dictates.
Which makes me wonder if that was really the way he would've been seen in a more primitive past - as if the person who should be inside of him had somehow been pushed aside and he was possessed by a ravening demon. And if that's the way that other delusional egomaniacs like him were seen in the past.
This gave me vibes of that recent show "Evil" except it's set in modern times
nah. he's just a poor sad old half dead pedo motherfucker
Sycophants and psychopaths all the way down
