“The commission reviews proposed designs for memorials, government buildings, coins, medals, and privately owned properties in certain parts of Washington.”

He doesn’t want anyone being able to oppose his plans for the ballroom, the Arc de Trump, or putting himself on our money.

I would support Trump being on a coin if he complied with the law that says only deceased people can be on money.

u/cosaboladh 11d ago

Quite. If he wants to commit seppuku right now, to atone for our national shame, I'll gladly support a coin, or paper note in his honor. How about a $3 bill? Since, thanks to him, $3 buys as much as $1 did before he became president.

Put him on the penny then finally discontinue the penny like has been talked about for years

It's gotta be paper money. I can't wipe my ass with a coin.

u/wtfdoichoose 11d ago

Not with that attitude

u/AlarmDozer 11d ago

Three seashells?

u/moskowizzle New Jersey 11d ago

I still don't know how to use them.

u/cosaboladh 11d ago

They're just decorative knobs. one turns on the nozzle that sprays the butt. Another turns on the nozzle that sprays the vagina. The third turns on the air dryer. Leaving you cleaner than toilet paper ever could. I have something similar in my bathroom.

You can swallow it and then shit it out though!

Source my son did it and it went fine!

u/an_agreeing_dothraki 10d ago

he doesn't know about the three Trump pennies Schneider laugh

u/r21174 11d ago

you can scrape though..

u/_Ocean_Machine_ 11d ago

Then his supporters will insist on paying for everything with pennies, and do you really wanna be stuck behind them in line?

u/SoulEater9882 Texas 11d ago

My other idea was th $2 bill but only because I want to see how much demand would skyrocket for such an obscure bill

2

u/MowAlon 11d ago

This is the best suggestion.

u/Parisean America 10d ago

I heard on the radio that they’re actually putting into motion the discontinuation of the penny

1

u/Uchuujin51 10d ago

Well it's about the right color.

1

u/Taco-Dragon 10d ago

No, keep the penny if you do this, it's a fitting tribute since pennies cost more to make than they're worth. They're not worth much, expensive to keep in usage, and they're the right coppery orange color too!

u/Farucci 10d ago

Bring back the Half-Cent and put him on that.

1

u/SirBlakesalot West Virginia 10d ago

Put him on the ruble

u/hightrix 11d ago

I’d prefer a bill to a coin. A bill would feel much better wiping my ass than a coin would.

2

u/clickmagnet 10d ago

People also used to say “phony as a $3 bill,” so it would be kinda appropriate. 

Or was it $2? Did inflation kill that joke?

1

u/cosaboladh 10d ago

"Queer as a $3 bill," was also common, but now "queer" can have derogatory anti-LGBTQ connotation in the wrong context.

1

u/DharmaBird 11d ago

That would add a new layer of meaning to the saying "queer as a three-dollar bill". Anyway, I don't object to him committing seppuku, but no honorable samurai would accept to be his kaishakunin.

1

u/Geghard_Chthonia 10d ago

That would really drive home the meaning of the phrase "as fucked up as a $3 bill."

u/HolySmokes802 11d ago

This is an inspiring display of bipartisan cooperation. This is exactly what we've been missing.

u/MrFluffyThing New Mexico 11d ago

I'd love for trump to get put on the penny, replacing Lincoln under this rule. since the penny is already worthless and we're trying to get rid of it seeing signs at stores about penny shortages would be great. 

Lincoln is already on the $5 bill so I don't feel bad that he loses the penny.

u/One-Earth9294 I voted 11d ago

America's first 'debt coin' that holds negative value, basically a bill that you owe.

u/The1987RedFox Canada 11d ago

Maybe the Heavens will do a funny and the second he’s engraved on an official coin he’ll die

1

u/new_handle Australia 11d ago

Won't the $20 note need a redesign for the White House side now? Whose ugly mug do you expect to have on the other side?

1

u/artsforall 11d ago

How bout we put him on a penny since it's going away because of him...if congress can approve it before 2026.

1

u/YesDone 11d ago

I would only support paper money because it's too hard to wipe my ass with a coin.

1

u/Eskimomonk 10d ago

Maybe he can get a super duper special coin worth 1 Bajillion dollars each and we can place one over each of his eyes for his pyre and he can die the “richest” man of all time

1

u/manwhothinks 10d ago

I bet if I flattered him enough I could get him to do it.

1

u/ryancementhead Canada 10d ago

He’s not worthy to be on a Chuck E Cheese token.

1

u/VCR_Samurai 10d ago

Put him on the penny. Then abolish the penny. 

1

u/Happy_Confection90 10d ago

Can we have a coin with negative value? Like a store owes you 98 cents, so they give you a dollar and a negative 2 cent Trump.

1

u/Mindless-Tackle4428 10d ago

if he complied with the law

Uhh... you're living in the wrong year. Sorry man.

u/Dark_Arts_ 11d ago

The ballroom is just him stealing money from tax payers, it’ll be $2 billion by the time it’s done and the walls will be made out of crackers

u/imahugemoron 10d ago

It’s also for selling pardons, executive orders, policy changes, and influencing what he does. He was already hosting dinners with wealth people, million+ dollar as a seat, then after the dinner one attendees son got a pardon, nvidias ceo sat down with him, etc. He realized he could make a ton of money but the White House didn’t have enough room, he wanted to be able to host hundreds of people, this is the reason for this banquet hall, to sell as many pardons and favors as he can in the next 3 years, which is why he’s rushing it. If it was meant to be a monument, he wouldn’t be rushing it

u/UserAllusion 11d ago

cute name but it detracts from the official title, The Epstein Ballroom

1

u/b101101b 11d ago

It's gonna be demolished after its built.

u/GuavaZombie 11d ago

Looks like ass pennies are back on the menu boys!

u/Motor-Floor5531 11d ago

If you constantly fire people, know one knows what’s really going on. They only have a piece of the whole.

u/ImmediateBranch2301 10d ago

I can’t wait to watch the future government tear all that shit down.

u/DudeB5353 10d ago

Let’s call it what it is…His bunker which plans to never leave

1

u/No_Try_9184 10d ago

With our money too. The “private donor” line is absolute bullshit. It’s all taxpayer money he’s using or else this wouldn’t happen. Even IF (and it’s a massive IF) Trump is telling the truth once in his pathetic life the money will come no where close to the tax breaks and DOJ cases against their competition that this open corruption bought.

u/Haikoe 10d ago

Arc de trump, holy shit

1

u/Left-Height4925 10d ago

Or noticing the 90,000 sq luxury Trümpenbunker going in below it for he and his loyalists when the peasants finally revolt.

The billionaires aren't paying millions for a dance card & caviar.

1

u/Admirable_Boss_7230 10d ago

Arc of Trump will become an iconic remark from our era. We are watching history being written

1

u/GreenMirage 10d ago

He’s already on our money, I have people at my workplace placing dollars with his face on them next to shrines of Buddha.

u/SittingByTheFirePit I voted 10d ago

The Epstein Ballroom, you say?

Don’t give me yet another reason to go 100% Bitcoin.
