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."
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?
Не Путин?

Да Путин
So a dollar will only be worth one pence?
1 ruble
1 rubio?
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.
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.
My birthday is March 9
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.
This some alternate timeline bs, but also a great metaphor for what's going on in the US.
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.

Time to invest in orange ink
good way to cause a run on $50 bills when everyone refuses to accept a $100
Don't you have to be dead to be on currency? If so he can be on any bill he wants long as he is dead.
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?

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

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.
