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

I recall a Brit (I think?) giving a rundown on European slang, and it was something akin to pence meaning "fart", so all the stickers that said "Trump Pence" looked to them like stickers that boldly proclaimed "Fart Trumpet!" ...which is kinda just synonymous anyway, but it lined up nicely!

Right, well, Trump & Pence haven't been on great terms since 2020. So I don't think he'd appreciate the Trump-pence coin. You're clever, though, never thought of that.

Pence ain't a thing no more mom ami. Trump tried to have him killed on Jan 6th and he's been a nothingburger since then

“President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family…”

You mean like… exactly what he’s doing now?

I saw the onion logo and thought "heh, that's funny". Then I re-read the name of the community...

Why not have two genocidal maniacs on our currency at this point.

Surely this will be the policy to finally bring egg prices down

Most of these bills aren't really intended to pass... I hope
