As a Brit, for whom the colloquial for pennies is "pence" like "ten pence" is 10p, I feel he's missing a trick not putting his fat leather apron of a face on the nickel or dime. Because then you could have "Trump pence". You could call it a Trumpence

Right, well, Trump & Pence haven't been on great terms since 2020. So I don't think he'd appreciate the Trump-pence coin. You're clever, though, never thought of that.

Pence ain't a thing no more mom ami. Trump tried to have him killed on Jan 6th and he's been a nothingburger since then

“President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family…”

You mean like… exactly what he’s doing now?

Will that lower grocery prices?

I saw the onion logo and thought "heh, that's funny". Then I re-read the name of the community...

Why not have two genocidal maniacs on our currency at this point.

This will bring down the price of eggs. Bigly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

One dozen eggs for just 4.20 donalds

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Looks like I'll be buying American toilet paper after all! 😒

[–] [email protected] 11 points 21 hours ago

Surely this will be the policy to finally bring egg prices down

[–] [email protected] 7 points 20 hours ago

Most of these bills aren't really intended to pass... I hope

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago

Just fucking pathetic.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

I'm not surprised. Honestly I had wondered why he hasn't already tried this.

Didnt another person submit for Trump to be on like a $250 bill?

Fuck it you know what put his face on every bill. Trump clearly saved the USA and should be considered its only founding father from now on. Replace all the symbolism and stuff on the back of bills with pictures of Mar a Lago and Bedminster. Maybe Trump Towers too.

God this is the worst timeline. Someone go back and save Harambe.
