President Donald Trump's signature will soon appear on all new US paper currency, the first time in history that a sitting president has signed American money, the Treasury Department announced Thursday. The move is just the latest example of Trump pushing his name and likeness on US institutions.

I imagine a lot of defaced currency in the future, allegedly. Maybe I'll keep a few pristine ones for when MAGA wants to buy them as collector items in 15 years. I already know they'll spend any amount of money on stupid shit like hats and stickers so I'm sure I could make decent amount. Only MAGA would be dumb enough to spend a hundred bucks on a ten dollar bill.

I can't tell if this stamp is pro or anti Trump

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 4 days ago

Pro-Trump.

A lot of people post pictures of the backs of $5 and $10 bills with "Trump Lives Here' stamped on the Lincoln Memorial and the US Treasury

I'm going to use a blackout marker on it and then write "Epstein Files" above it on every one I find.

Is that the same squiggle that looks like the pubic hair of an underage girl?

The narcissist really is intent of ensuring everybody knows of his shitstaining of history in the future, isn't he?

[–] tuck182@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He'll certainly be remembered for a long time, but my hope is that he's best remembered for a lasting impact on James Buchanan's legacy.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

I wouldn't want to be remembered as the orange dark-tetrad fucknugget that tried His best to ruin everything that is your USA.

But then again, I'm not a psychopath, so that sure doesn't appeal to me.

Is this going to be the Epstein-birthday-card variant?

All jokes apart, Shitler-signed dollars may become valuable if America ever comes back to its senses so I’d get a few and hold onto them.

Anyone else here plan to refuse to receive such currency? Good thing I stopped using cash as much as possible a decade ago. I won't have this shit staining the interior of my wallet.
