Laws don’t matter anymore. Just do crimes.
Being gay is now optional, the crimes part is not
If they're ignoring the law then we can ignore the law against defacement and destruction of US currency, right? Melt them down? Carve Hitler staches or penises in his fists?
That's the neat thing about laws. You shouldn't, but you can apply them selectively.

I’m sure the magical consequences fairy will be along any minute now to address that.
Looks like the coin of some authoritarian banana republic, pretty much on point therefore.
He looks like Frank Underwood from House of Cards. That plus it being illegal to mint coins of a living president tells me The Reaper has a spectacular joke lined up.
Is this real? This looks fucking ridiculous.
The people that are agreeing to do this are such pussies.
Stop catering to this asshole.
This is why they were put there. He pushed all previous members out.
DOGE's job was to fire anyone who might resist, argue, or fight back. Classic fascist purge.
DOGE had nothing to do with this. Trump did it himself esrly this term.
$100 says these are gold plated and sold as solid gold.
A dollar says they're actually chocolate.
Chocolate covered diaper shit
A nickel says they're actually chocolate flavored wax.
carob
Too healthy
but why does he look like an angry chimpanzee?
Why wouldn't the coin look like him?
They can’t even get a picture of him that doesn’t look like a looming threat.
More like a pathetic threat wannabe
Just look how tense his shoulders are, because of all his fear
Behold the Hunchback of Maralago!
That actually makes him all the more terrifying.
Always something to prove to distract from his tiny ~~dick~~ ~~hands~~ Epstein files.
Yeah, a frightened animal will leash out, but it's also easier to estimate it's actions - even if those actions will be stupid (and I'm not sure if the orange idiot even needs to be frightened for that)
Still, we can handle and model that, and work against it - because it's always the fucking same pattern
Here he looks constipated
I genuinely thought it was Sasquatch.
Gross. Imagine having that ugly fat fucks face on a coin for our 250th anniversary... Shameful. Guess since he's the one that destroyed what we have, it makes sense.
Pedophile rapist conman no-class-having low life.
I'm surprised he was willing to share space on the coin with God. Narcissistic fuckwit.
“No kings” indeed /s.
Proof that trump died.
Someone needs to add a child’s head poking out from under the table to make it more historically accurate.
This dick head loves gold.
Seemingly everyone lacking aesthetic taste loves gold
How shitty do gold armatures look?
And those dumbasses love it
You just can't buy having taste...
I think he likes the jaundiced, urine, sepia look of any room filled with cheap trinkets encrusted cheap plating.
Why so surprised?
Once again:
THIS IS A FASCIST COUNTRY!
This is the least of what will change. And you have at least 50 years of it.
You could melt it to increase its value, but you know it won’t be made of real gold. Anything with that man’s approval is a lie.
ever wonder why every coin says "liberty" in some random spot? the coinage act of 1792 mandates that all coins must depict liberty because the US framers did not like "too monarch-like" effigies, so the people in the 1900s just called it a day by slapping onto Amerindians and historical figures the word LIBERTY
however, this precise design no longer follows this law, due to the placement of the mounted head making it instead a depiction of LIBFRTY

"Blasts"
*sigh
I counter Blast with SLAM!
I counter slam with 🤮
And that's why you got fired from the WWE.
It already has the death year of the US in its design, it should be trivial to make him eligible with a tactical covfefe hamberder.
Deploy it in the middle of June, and it will be a nice, round 80.
They caught him mid-shart
they should use a penny instead, it's more realistic and no one wants it.
Guess I can get back into target practice with coins again and feel good about it.
Angry coins
How viable is it to destroy enough of these to force their retraction or otherwise fuck up their records.
