I would rather get my change back in 300 Lincoln embossed pennies for every $3 offered as change, no matter the weight I'd endure on my poor aching back.

McDonalds would report all his fans buying food with $3 bills in his honor.

Trump would demand eggs never go above $3

He’d make that an executive order and would be confused as to why he couldn’t change the price of eggs himself.

A minor housekeeping note, but, first, I must stop laughing.

Thank you for the laughs this week. They have been health-important and most timely.

About tradition—George Washington declined the opportunity to be depicted on US coins and no other living President has broken with that tradition.

Then, we have the first FOTUS to consider.

Trump already broke with the Presidential transfer of power tradition in 2021, when he sent his goons to war against America, the Vice-President and Congress on January 6.

So, obviously, tradition means little or nothing to him.

I have no doubt he could, would and will happily revisit his role of Iconoclast-in-Chief of American law, tradition and norms daily.

And engraving the orange oddity on an odd-number bill would fill the MAGA bill nicely, would it not?

I don’t doubt FOTUS in his dark soul wishes to be on US currency.

Problem is, he’d need to be dead to be properly and traditionally commemorated.

If he’s willing to drop a little lethal dose of cyanide into his Diet Coke, who are we—to quote Gomez Addams in a message to his lovely wife Morticia—

“Don’t. Stop.”

Or, maybe, some might prefer to be more like Gomez’ messenger Uncle Fester telling her—

Gomez says, ‘Don’t stop.’”

Here’s the housekeeping:

The United States engraves bills at the Bureau of Engraving down the street from the Holocaust Museum.

They mint coins in several cities, including Philadelphia.

If I’m not mistaken, dead people are depicted on US currency.

I’ll impatiently await that event, thank you kindly.

I hadn’t read your posts before today. I’m deeply saddened to discover that it’s comedy and not absolute truth.

A reasonable replacement for the pennies DOGE is yammering about phasing out - since by the time this idiot is done with the economy, that’s about what $3 will be worth.

I seriously doubt our dear president knows enough history to describe William Henry Harrison's fall.

I'd love for someone to have Trump try to recite all the presidents he knows in order.
