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

Idiots! Should have made a brand new $500 bill for this! Would work out a lot better with inflation. Great for buying eggs.
We really are on the Biff Tannen timeline.
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.
Its fucked up vain bullshit. His maggots might like his shitty face in their purses but the sane folks elsewhere should burn it
"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)
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.
Every emperor mints coins bearing his face when accessing the throne.
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.
Bruh 🤣
What a clownshow 🤡
God Trump is such a narcissist. I'm sure he wanted every dollar bill but $100 is the highest denomination.
They'll probably settle on creating a higher denomination. I mean, it's not like it would be hard to justify having a higher denomination. The US Treasury used to issue higher denomination bank notes., but the highest has been the $100 note since 1934. We've had quite a lot of cumulative inflation since then. Sure, cash is less important now than it was in the past. But if just by inflation, a $1000 note would be appropriate. So maybe as a compromise you issue $250 and $500 notes.
Or maybe he'll just mint a ten trillion dollar platinum coin with his mug on it. Then have the treasury deposit it in the president's personal bank account as "a tip for good public service."
$250 is a dumb denomination that only US would do.
1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 ,100 is followed by 200, 500, 1000.
JFC every measurement of everything in that country gets decided by someone who flunked in maths.
The ego inflation would go like this:
"Sir, we want to put you on a new $500 bill. The EU has a €500 bill as well, so economic studies show viabil-"
"They already have a 500? No, I want a $1,000 bill, then. Put Elon on the $500."
"Sir, yes sir, thank you sir." boot slurping noises
Sigh. This is just a distraction to get people like you talking about it and keep his name in the news.
These conmen understand that all publicity is good publicity and you play right into their hands every time.
Just build a temple to Trump Baal where they can make sacrifices to him.
Thank God I only use electronic money
Is it still illegal to burn money?
What about wiping your ass with it?
So a dollar will only be worth one pence?
1 ruble
1 rubio?
I wonder which of those is worth less? 🤔

Excellent news since only dead people are permitted on $US. When's he dying? I have March 5th 2025 in the pool.
Fingers fucking crossed.
Personally, I'm hoping it falls on my birthday
I will be celebrating your birthday mate.
Can your birthday be 10 years ago?
I have a birthday every year.
I mean, technically it was, assuming they are at least 10 years old.
My birthday is March 9
Newsweek is a tabloid.
And American politics is a farce, so they're well situated for a surface level inside scoop.
Oh I hope they do, then when all this is over people will be wiping their ass on his face. That will probably make him happy too.
Whatever. Go for it, cultists.
This type of shit is just noise meant to distract and overwhelm people from paying attention to the stuff that matters.
What this guy said^^ focus on the real issues and watch out for the other sleight of hand cause in the end that's all it is. They want us bickering with each other while closed door deals are being finalized
Yeah, they've been pretty explicit in wanting to "flood the zone" with new shit everyday to annoy and outrage us, and so that the media doesn't have enough time to cover in depth what's really going on.
All of this stuff like "Gulf of America", "Red White and Blueland", adding Trump's face to Mt. Rushmore, putting Trump's face on the $100, etc. It's all a bunch of look-at-the-birdy bullshit.

This some alternate timeline bs, but also a great metaphor for what's going on in the US.
good way to cause a run on $50 bills when everyone refuses to accept a $100

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?

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.

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.
This is super duper protected political speech. So, no, it's not illegal.
