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
Bruh 🤣
What a clownshow 🤡
"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)
Changing the Gulf of Mexico was also just a proposal before he aped it for an eo.
Having one company change one field of text to add parentheses for some Trump delusional bs is a bit different than changing the US dollars in circulation.
I don't think you understand just how big of a difference it actually is.

Just build a temple to Trump Baal where they can make sacrifices to him.
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."
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
I can see Trump and Musk ordering new denominations to one-up each other. "Crypto DOGE is worth over $9,001!" waved sharpie "Nuh-uh, Trump Bucks gets you a dozen eggs, cause I say so!"

$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.

Excellent news since only dead people are permitted on $US. When's he dying? I have March 5th 2025 in the pool.

Every emperor mints coins bearing his face when accessing the throne.
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.

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.

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?

Thank God I only use electronic money
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.

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.
good way to cause a run on $50 bills when everyone refuses to accept a $100
