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.

[-] blakenong@lemmings.world 18 points 1 week ago

Shhh… do you even know how easy that will be to forge? ;) ;)

[-] kn33@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

$4? Shit it was $6 at the local Aldi yesterday.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Four donalds, aka four hundred dollars ($400)

[-] raoulduke85@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

How much are goofies worth?

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

He just told you. $400

[-] kn33@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Oooh my brain just "auto corrected" it to "dollars" when I was reading it.

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.

It's more a legally gray area in the US that as far as I can find from a quick search has never been settled in court. It likely isn't worth the time for police to go after either even if it was more explicitly illegal.

That might change if there's a sudden surge in people drawing on $100 bills, but who uses $100s that often anyway? Most ATMs I used only dispense $20s. It often isn't worth the trip to the bank, and the US is unfortunately mostly cashless now.

But to be clear: fuck this fascist bullshit and resist in whatever ways you can

There's an argument we shouldn't even be issuing $100 bills in the first place. Counterfeiters have to spend money to copy money. A $1 or $5 bill isn't worth the cost. A $50 is getting there, but if you put extra anti-counterfeiting measures around it, then it's pushed out of reach again.

Once you reach a $100 bill, though, it's hard to have enough anti-counterfeiting measures while also being cheap enough to produce by the actual US Mint. Drop it entirely, and the problem goes away.

It's also illegal for a living person to be featured in our currency.

[-] RQG@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

At this rate he might do it himself.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's not illegal as long as you're not trying to get it out of circulation, advertise, or pass off one denomination as another. So deface away.

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...

  1. Wasn't he golfing yesterday?
  2. We all know he hates his family and is happy to avoid them.
  3. "Took a bullet" is akin to me saying I was stabbed in the face by a deranged idiot when I cut myself shaving.
  4. Working overtime at what exactly? Are his tiny chode fingers getting tired from signing a few bits of paper?
[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 9 points 1 week ago

Didn't the bullet go through his ear and kill a firefighter?

[-] Redditsux@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Bullet never touched him. The blood was splatter. He wore a bandage for 2 days for show. When it came off there was not a scratch.

[-] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 18 points 1 week ago

I work at a hospital and have worked with hundreds of patients around his age. When you're that old, your skin is like paper thin and tears extremely easy. I've slid patients from one bed to another and tore skin. Donald Trump was tackled by secret service. Maybe it was his blood but I highly doubt he took a bullet or any shrapnel from glass or anything else.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

Conspiracy theories don't help. Especially since there was a photo with the bullet mid flight.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 50 points 1 week ago

Man, these bootlickers are so pathetic. The lengths they go to to kiss his ass would be cringe even if it was towards an actual great person. The fact that it's directed at this hateful, disgusting man is the saddest thing...

Just in case people didn't know they were heading into a personality cult dictatorship already.

[-] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

Doesn't DJT has to die soon for that?

[-] h3adphones@lemmy.zip 37 points 1 week ago

What a massive waste of taxpayer money.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

What a massive defacement of taxpayer money.

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 week ago

So....America....you guys really are about a step-and-a-half away from this?

Get your shit together. Christ.

Already nose diving face first. Steps are gone.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 9 points 1 week ago

There's already proposals to put his face on Mt Rushmore, so yes.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 week ago

lol .... by the time they do pass regulations and laws to do all this .... 1 Trump will be worth nothing

It will be like the German Reichsmark and they'll be printing out so much of it, that these paper bills will be more valuable as a fuel source to cook your food than in actually purchasing anything of value.

[-] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

“1 Trump will be worth nothing” vs the immense value one Trump has now. lol.

[-] UnexpectedBehavior@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Will that lower grocery prices?

[-] Nikelui@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

In the tradition of USA currency being only for dead presidents - I will gladly allow Trump's face on any bill if he's the one to pull the trigger

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

That's actually a far point

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Not putting him on the $100,000 bill is slap in the face.

[-] buwho@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago

new toilet paper just dropped

[-] Chivera@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

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

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 week ago

This will bring down the price of eggs. Bigly.

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Just fucking pathetic.

[-] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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

[-] JPAKx4@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

SpoilerAndrew Jackson moment

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

He's getting rid of the pennies and nickles in favor of this

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Catma@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

What does harambe have to do with this?

[-] gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 1 week ago

It's a joke based on multiverse theory. The joke is that if someone hadn't killed Harambe (RIP in peace), we would be living a timeline of events that is different than this stupid, shitty one.

[-] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Oh look frivolous spending.
