I hate this timeline.
The good news is this is illegal.
The bad news is Republicans probably don’t care.
Explain more
31 U.S. Code 5112 says “No coin issued may bear the image of a living former or current President,”
I was about to say, I was pretty sure that was a law, instituted to stop… oh, what was it again? Oh ya. FASCISM.
Literally, who’s going to stop them?
There’s so much stuff that’s absolutely illegal happening and nobody is stopping them. Being illegal or not is irrelevant if no one enforces it.
A lot of things are being held up by the courts, many things have been reversed by the courts, but yes they probably feel invincible at the moment.
Oh, this one’s easy the way I understand things work now.
He is both former AND current, so fire up the mint.

Amendment incoming!
So, Trump just needs to die and it will be legal?
Thank you!
Then they’ll have to mint coins of Reagan.
Heard of congressional approval?
Illegal? They’ve never heard the word.
How about printing his face on the Epstein Files instead
His face is already all over those files!
This is just bait for people to point out that it’s illegal to commemorate a living president.
At which point they’ll feign “oopsies” and—surprising absolutely nobody—proceed to roll out a Charlie Kirk coin.
Personality cult says what?

If such a coin exists ever exists, I hope all of them end up with deep scratches across the face.
Also, “Fight fight fight” sounds more like the Itchy and Scratchy theme song than some democratic saying.
Drill a hole through his head.
It makes me think of every high school football marching band, with their “fight song” BS
How about we reopen the government and release the Epstein files first?
NO living person should be commemorated on a coin, regardless of political ideology.
Hopefully, this abomination will go over about as well as the Sacajawea dollar coin.
There’s only one rule about whose faces can appear on currency in the US: the person has to be dead.
I mean, I can tolerate a $1 Trump coin if the stipulations are met…very very soon.
Surely a 30 cent (or maybe 70 cent or some other not really believable and pretty much useless) coin value would better represent Trump.
Kings and queens have legal tender with their face on it during their tenure…
When is the official coronation of trump scheduled? 2027?
One time I came home drunk at night and had a campfire out back. For some reason, I had the urge to burn a few dollar bills that I had in my pocket, I think because money was such a concern for me at the time and the simple act of burning a few of these life-tickets upon which we all depend felt freeing.
Now this, I would invest in a torch and smelting pot for these ones. Or stamp Epstein on the other side and leave them strewn about.
Why the fuck not. The US didn’t make it to 250; it’s year 1 of post-US. Might as well.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot…
Great idea … no better way to celebrate how stupid this country has become than by sharing another dumb image of this idiot.
