new toilet paper just dropped
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
This some alternate timeline bs, but also a great metaphor for what's going on in the US.
That’s scary.
Surely this will be the policy to finally bring egg prices down
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
That is pretty clever. Except it would already be dated since Trump attempted to get Pence lynched by an angry mob a few years back
Why not have two genocidal maniacs on our currency at this point.

Andrew Jackson moment
I thought there already was a law stating living persons cannot be placed on currency. Am I not correct?
a what? that word....llllaaaaawwwww can't say I'm familiar with it,
must be some kind of old term that applied to presidents before the current godking....
"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)
Thank God I only use electronic money
Most of these bills aren't really intended to pass... I hope
It's getting harder and harder to distinguish NTO headlines from the rest. That's how stupid this motherfucker is. Every Trump headline could be posted here unironically.
