If I had a nickel for every one I've seen, I'd have two nickels, which isn't much, but it's strange it happened twice.

And I have no idea what it means.

A couple of examples:

One and two.

Shitposter who’s trying to make us forget about the massive tax breaks to the rich Trump handed out while he was driving record inflation.

The PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) was a huge giveaway that was partly bipartisan. Except Trump wouldn't allow proper oversight, so of course it was abused.

There’s also the quantitative easing that happened under Trump. Normally I wouldn’t criticize the POTUS for something the fed is in charge of but Donnie cried about the fed potentially raising interest rates his entire term which kept them from doing so. That left the fed with no tools but to spin up the money printing machines when Covid hit.

This seems like the most straightforward answer so far. I was hoping it was talking shit about Tether or something. (Ok, to be fair I didn't really think it was likely, but I hoped.) But thanks for the response.

Ignore the shit poster. It's just one moron spamming an unfunny meme.

Thanks much. Seems like this was basically the right answer, from what others are saying.

"Money printer go BRRRRR" was originally a joke about the US Federal Reserve printing money to make all the financial problems go away, usually paired with something like Wojack screaming about how economics work.

It got co-opted by the GameStop stock movement (Apes) saying GME was the money printer. Whenever the stock went down people would post memes of apes asking "Where money printer?"
