All about the trumps just doesn't slap like Benjamins. All about the trumps sounds like a nightmare of a reality show

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 25 points 2 hours ago

Shouldn't Trump be on the ruble?

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 16 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's all just ring-polishing stuff to openly declare fealty to him.

Same as the third term stuff.

They don't actually care if it works, only that they have proof of it to show him down the road.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

The dogs in the back of the pack.

[–] neuro_88@lemm.ee 12 points 4 hours ago

That’s scary.

This was absolutely on my 2025 bingo card along with plans for a new face on Mount Rushmore and a mountain, river, or national park being named after him.

[–] limelight79@lemm.ee 4 points 1 hour ago

I've seen 3D printed Mount Rushmore replicas that have trump as a 5th face.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

I'm naming a toilet bowl after him.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 7 points 1 hour ago

I need to take a trump

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 28 minutes ago

I fear that Trump toilets are too shitty of a product to work...

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I'm too afraid the orange will wear off on my ass so I'll be shitting in the woods.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

OMG !!! Ass did not change into a** !! THANK YOU lemmy.world

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That's gonna be tough when he gets rid of all of the park rangers.

He will just make a mcdonalds a national park and name that after himself

[–] ozoned@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago

You forgot Constitutional Amendment to allow a 3rd term.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 23 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I thought only deceased people with a positive influence on society could end up on money. The latter requirement will never happen, and the way he acts many will think it's about time the met the first requirment.

[–] Archelon@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah unfortunately Andrew Jackson’s still on money so…

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 5 points 4 hours ago

Guy who dissolved America's Bank on the 20. Guy who started it on the 10.

Guy who won a lot of duels on the 20. Guy who died in one on the 10.

Guy who started the New York manumission society and went on to trade slaves for his father in law on the ten, guy who did an unconstitutional and judicially rejected genocide on the 20.

Supposedly the smaller notes are the higher honor but the way the US works I'm not sure that's true.

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 28 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Changing U.S. law would be necessary to allow living people to appear on currency.

Or he could, ya know, die.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Well, congress knows what to do now to get him on the bill. Just need an execution rider.

[–] Estimator0533@lemmynsfw.com 27 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Idiots! Should have made a brand new $500 bill for this! Would work out a lot better with inflation. Great for buying eggs.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

"Gazillion bucks". On the back put the Monopoly guy with a top hat and monocle.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmings.world 10 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Musk can be the $1,000,000 bill in Weimer America, suitable for buying a single omelet.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 56 minutes ago

The back can be a flaming depiction of the kinsey institute

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Silly, he get big balls to conjure up million dollar bitcoins from thin air to replace dollars. Plus they will all be purchased with low and middle income American taxpayers dollars.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah when I was 20, $100 was grocery money for the month. Now it's groceries for 3-4 days. It doesn't help that I always have a house full of teenagers.

[–] Ferroto@lemmy.world 29 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

We really are on the Biff Tannen timeline.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 points 25 minutes ago

Even worse.

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 3 points 4 hours ago

Tanner was based on him, in case you didn’t know.

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 19 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

That's fair. It will be used a lot, as it is about the price of a box of eggs at the end of this year.

Ahh yes, Benjamin Franklin, founding father, inventor of the bifocals, lightning rod, and Franklin stove, first postmaster general, founder of the University of Pennsylvania, signed the constitution and the declaration of independence along with drafting the latter. Definitely not nearly as important to this country as Donald Trump, who is singlehandedly keeping the orange spray tan market alive.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 hour ago

Alternatively it's just switching adulterers.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (6 children)

"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)

[–] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Changing the Gulf of Mexico was also just a proposal before he aped it for an eo.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Having one company change one field of text to add parentheses for some Trump delusional bs is a bit different than changing the US dollars in circulation.

I don't think you understand just how big of a difference it actually is.
