The Treasury Department plans to print President Donald Trump’s signature on every new U.S. paper bill. Treasury announced the idea Thursday.

I’m impressed at their creativity in devaluing the dollar in a new way every day!
and Gold down
I’ve heard people are selling to buy oil
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.
The exact opposite of this is true.
Wait, are you saying that U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach didn’t say this or that it isn’t appropriate or well-deserved? /serious
I was claiming that the treasurer lied.
Oh okay. Thanks. _
Tanking everything else but the net-worth of his billionaires/buddies is what he stands for.
So obviously they think it’s well deserved.
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.
Only technically illegal if it’s done with intent to change the face value, advertise commercial services, or to remove it from circulation. Since it’s still spendable, not advertising, and we would want these altered bills to continue circulating, it wouldn’t be a crime.
It’s not going to stop them from harassing the artist though.
You’re still acting like we have the rule of law in this dictatorship.
If that’s the case it better be the cop.
Yeah, it actually gives me an idea for a stamp… Sort of like those “where is George” stamps that people put on $1 bills.
The Pedodollar
+1…Thank you for using the correct flags too.
Epstein dollar
Everything trump touches turns to shit.
The dollar is toast.
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.
Make him sign them all manually.
God I hate it here.
If it helps, people elsewhere hate it there too.
What, with like an auto-pen or something?
Right if he hasn’t signed it himself it can’t be legal tender
He’s a little older than Trump, but I guess aging far better.

This whole Iran arc is making me feel like crypto is eventually going to be more legitimate than the US dollar 💀
In a way, some cryptos already are because they’re more regulated in how new coins get created whereas the US can just print more dollars at will
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’.
German hyperinflation might agree with you.
18 U.S.C. § 333 says that’s a crime punishable by fines, 6 months in prison, or both. I’m sure they’ll probably consider that as 1 count for each piece of currency destroyed. Then they’ll tack on more prison time for failure to pay the fines you can’t afford because the government made your money worthless. Combine that with the 13th amendment loophole, and you’ve got yourself a cash cow primed and ready to be milked by the private prisons and staffing agencies of the good ol’ US of A.
Ya know, Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis” was supposed to have taken in 2026…
this is going to devalue the dollar massively
I might go all in on contactless payment.
Capitulation to the techbros in advance
Yes, never forget that those fuckers are in on this too.
In every fascist system, the capitalist elite always buddy up to the ones in power because to not do so threatens that capital and, thus, their wealth.
I’m thinking gold and those colorful European dollarydoos.
Barter system. Time to go redistribute some farm animals to my garage and learn how to blacksmith.
Look, this one has the chimp scribble on it!
