Step 1: Collect short phrases capturing the dumbest and most heinous things he's done, and manufacture rubber stamps with said phrases.
Step 2:?
Step 3: Profit!
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.
God I hate it here.
If it helps, people elsewhere hate it there too.
Everything trump touches turns to shit.
The dollar is toast.
Make him sign them all manually.
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
I can't wait to make a scene at the grocery store demanding they give me change in real money.
In all seriousness, it would be hilarious of that were to happen all pver the country, completely eroding trust in the dollar.
Might I interest you in some juicy Euros?
We should all wipe our ass with it and then mail it to the White House
Look, this one has the chimp scribble on it!

+1...Thank you for using the correct flags too.
Epstein dollar
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'.
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...
German hyperinflation might agree with you.
how do i fight the urge to burn trump dollars? I love dollars, but i hate trump with the fire of 1000 suns. I'm going to be so confused.
this is going to devalue the dollar massively
Eeeww... pubic hair drawn on a dollar bill? Yuck.
I'm impressed at their creativity in devaluing the dollar in a new way every day!

Disgusting. What a narcisist.
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.

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.

Trump territory-marks everything.
These bills are the first to fuel the fireplace during the Greater Depression.
Make America Great(ly depressed) Again
at $500B a month borrowing, that's a lot of signatures. It will keep him busy.
Invest in X-Acto knives and a cutting mat before prices skyrocket
Makes me glad I almost never handle cash then.
Though if I do wind up with money with his name scrawled on it I'm gonna take it somewhere to trade it in with some nice, elaborate (but polite) commentary on the Orange graffiti.
Makes me glad I almost never handle cash then.
Was going to say...
Who even carries paper currency on them?
People who don't necessarily want a public record of their every purchase.
Well... enjoy your TrumpBux
I get paid in cash.

A pedo stamp on every bill. They really want to lose reserve currency status quickly.

Money shouldn't have anyone's signature. Such ugly vanity should be illegal.
The signature of the president of the treasury that has always been on the bills had nothing to do with vanity, but with the president of the bank issuing the money guaranteeing the value of the money.
But who is going to trust the value of money guaranteed by Donald Trump?
