I'm impressed at their creativity in devaluing the dollar in a new way every day!

U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach said in a statement that printing Trump’s signature on the American currency “is not only appropriate, but also well deserved.”

The exact opposite of this is true.

What a great way to ensure all money is defaced and will cost extra to constantly reissue it.

I will be sure to write child fucker under his name on every note I see.

How long before the first person dies because the cops try and arrest someone who defaced one.

If that’s the case it better be the cop.

Oh yeah, I'm going to vandalize every one that goes through my hands. Traitor, Pedophile, rapist, draw a dick in mouth, coming on his face, etc. And I'm going to take photos of any good ones I see before passing them along.

At first I was pissed about it, but now I'm going to have fun.

Pretty sure its illegal but its less illegal than his face on it.

"Illegal" never stopped him...

You'd be surprised, the courts blocked most of his federal worker firings from DOGE and forced him to renew funding to Medicaid, SNAP, and other federal programs. They've shut down ICE camps before, lots of ongoing cases such as U.S. District Judge Zahid N. Quraishi refusing to even hear the DOJ's case for DHS detaining without warrants or hearings unless all 3 highest level DOJ officers testify under oath.

There has been a lot of capitulation by the courts to the Trump Admin, we haven't been able to prevent ICE building camps for the most part and we weren't able to save USAID, but there has been a lot of resistance as well and I don't think enough credit is given for that.

I will redact his name on every one I get.

Stock market tip: BUY stock in sharpies.

I think the people stating above that they will write things like rapist pedophile and such makes more sense. Basically demands they keep reprinting more and throwing it out costing them much more

Money shouldn't have anyone's signature. Such ugly vanity should be illegal.

australia’s notes all have tiny signatures of the governor of the reserve bank, and the secretary to the treasury and have for at least as long as i can remember… i don’t think it’s a vanity thing in that case

[–] jwt@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago

US also puts the signature of the Secretary of Treasury on it. This was Jacob Lew's:

Makes me glad I almost never handle cash then.

Though if I do wind up with money with his name scrawled on it I'm gonna take it somewhere to trade it in with some nice, elaborate (but polite) commentary on the Orange graffiti.

this is going to devalue the dollar massively

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Will it be the same signature that was on the Epstein letter. I hate that.

Or will it be the one from his executive orders. I hate that.

At the rate things are going, it may be cheaper to burn those bills for warmth this coming winter than it will be to pay the electric/gas/oil bills we're going to experience. Just sayin'.

It is so tragice for our US cousins that they have a spoiled and soiled baby in the Whitehouse.

I'd like to think they won't do this (to the rest of the world) again, but he is already in his second term saying that he will be here for longer.

The world must move away from the Dollar for its own safety.

Look, this one has the chimp scribble on it!

So this makes me wonder about legends of demonic possession.

In a sense, it could be said that Donald Trump is not President of the United States, because Donald Trump in a sense doesn't even exist as an individual. Instead, he's essentially a vehicle for his gargantuan ego. He's really just a sort of mindless zombie, lurching from one thing to another as his ego dictates.

Which makes me wonder if that was really the way he would've been seen in a more primitive past - as if the person who should be inside of him had somehow been pushed aside and he was possessed by a ravening demon. And if that's the way that other delusional egomaniacs like him were seen in the past.
