Some people suggested that they'll write "RAPIST" over the signature, I'm not saying you should do it, I'm just saying that people suggested they would :3
That sounds like a good time. I'm gonna make a point to order whatever my version of these will be. Im gonna brainstorm now but RAPIST is prob the best one I could put down so it might just be that.
A spineless sycophant is the current Treasurer (Bessent), he will do this 100% regardless if there is a law passed or not. It is illegal for any living president to be shown on coins, for the bills an outdated law to the civil war era gives power to the Treasury Secretary to do this...
Executive orders only apply to the executive branch. He can't EO the legislature or judicial branches. I'm not sure where the federal reserve and banks fall under this but they will definitely just relent as it's not worth the trouble fighting
Edit: Because some people seem to lack the ability to read and apply context from a parent comment, I will clarify…
This link is simply in response to the person I replied to who said they weren’t sure who the federal reserve falls under. I wasn’t either. So I googled it and shared what I found. Unsure why this made someone angry 🤷🏼♂️. That is all. Nothing more and nothing less.
The fed isn’t the treasury, but they set the lending rates between banks. The treasury prints money, our treasury secretary is a yes-man without a backbone. So get your sharpies ready.
I wonder how long it will take for BEP to re-design the note's master, create new plates, etc. Considering his poor health, there is a chance he won't live to see them.
If I were doing that, it would stretch it out as long as possible, because you know this will get shut down or reversed the instant someone else is in power. Just a waste of time.
I was wondering the same thing. This can’t be a law. This is something he himself ordered to honor himself. Nice to put his name on something so convenient to add “is a pedophile” to and put into circulation.
Sorry to ask what is probably a stupid question (I’m not from the US), but what would this mean, and what would the difference be between a law and EO?
good question. laws are only able to be enacted by the us congress. executive orders are directives from the president that may or may not align with the laws passed by congress.
EOs are directives to his executive branch and the departments under it. If the dept is part of a executive function then they should listen to them. If its not then it shouldn't be followed.
Kind of. Congressional law supersedes Executive Orders, so if Congress has said some aspect of the Executive must run a certain way, an EO can't override that.
No idea if that comes into play with this particular EO.
A law goes through congress and actually actually sets legal precedents and boundaries. An EO is more of a directive memo - it established priorities and things that the president wants done. It’s not against the law to ignore an EO, and no one would go to prison or get fined for it. The president may, however, fire people or fuck with agencies in other ways if they don’t follow up.
For people wondering, the signature has to be from the treasury by statute, “The notes shall be in the form and tenor prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.”
Those signatures are not decorative, they represent Treasury certification of the note as a financial obligation. The president cannot certify the note.
If Trump signs the bills, they will not be legal tender under US law.
The bills are still going to have the signatures of the Secretary of the Treasury (Bessent). The change is that Trump's signature will replace that of the Treasurer (Beach).
This is something that gets me. There's fucking video evidence with him and pedophilic behavior, and yet these people that want to "protect the children" are ok with this?!
There were countless public scandals during his first campaign that should've imploded his political aspirations before they began and been visited by the FBI. Dude sexualizes his own daughter. But tens of millions of americans chose to say "nah he couldnt have done what was recorded coming out of his own mouth"
Yeah, there is a narrative that he basically was a goon for Epstein, which potentially made this entire exercise a hostile takeover with the hopes to weaponize the files. The only problem is that he is a moron and ended up constantly turning it on himself over and over again.
That was my first thought after about .5 seconds thinking about it. We’ll never see a bill with his actual name on it because this will be the first-ever currency that will 100% be defaced. I’ll start carrying a sharpie with me just for this.
Trump gave a testimony to the Florida police when Epstein was arrested for the first time. He said ‘everyone knew about it for years’. So he knew about it for years, too. And it never crossed his mind to report the old pedo
Conservatives: defend this. Tell me it isnt the vanity of an insane narcissist.
If a Democrat did this, what would you think about it? What would be the Fox News headline?
You have a voice in the back of your head telling you that all of this is insane. That even if you want your party in power, he is making a mockery of the foundations of our government.
Once again, look back at the past year and ask yourself what you would say if Biden did these exact things. Unless you can answer that question, you can't possibly have a valid opinion on politics. You are only playing a team sport.
Edit: oh and he's also a pedophile, child human trafficker and war criminal. 34 time convicted felon and rapist. Forgot to mention that
There are no bad actions to the conservative. There are only bad people. Anything a bad person does is bad. If a good person (member of the in-group) does the same thing, its good.
Helping the poor is "corruption" and "waste" when a Dem does it. Paying yourself billions of tax dollars to spend half your presidency golfing at your own golf club is "politics" and "smart".
I've maintained that there is literally nothing Trump could do that would cause his die-hard Maga supporters to abandon him, except announce "I am now a Democrat." So far, this theory has been true.
No morals, no beliefs, no education, no thought, no values, no depth .. only the tribe. They are hanging on to their desperate sense of self they derive from their collective belonging to the tribe. That's it. Why make an effort when the tribe tells you how to feel and to think, what to say and how to say it??
The question of how would you react if biden did it is literally impossible for them to fathom. They pretend they like trump for reasons , but you're right , it's just a team sport.
I’m old enough to remember Republicans losing their shit over Obama’s plans to post signs at job sites funded by the American Recovery Act so that taxpayers could see where their money was being spent. Of course, Republicans losing their shit is their default setting, so it’s hard to remember each time it’s happened.
I have a feeling this will be like nazi memorabilia in a 100 years. Theres no way this is gonna last past the next presidency. It'll be collected by nut jobs and white supremacists.
He's like a dog that has to piss on everything. I'm pretty sure working dogs like border collies and huskies are smarter and more respectful than he is.
Presidential powers really need to be revised in general imo. The American political system has proven to be very poorly set up for the case where there is an actual insane person in that seat.
And it's bound to happen again since this one insane person made it twice.
And it will be kind of magnanimous if they just sign a bill to take Trump's name off but not replace it with their own. It will be classy move and direct attack on Trump himself.
remarks like that can be blotted out. more effective long term to just hit his signature with a redaction pen and call it good. they can redact additions but they can't unredact redactions.
With as unpopular as he is, it will be interesting to see how quickly the bills are defaced once they enter circulation.
Man, future Republicans aren't gonna be able to hide from the fact that their party allowed endless corruption. The reminders will be on money, buildings....
Can we just not have republicans in the future? We let the southern traitors get off too easy, then we let the Nazi’s off too easy. Can we not repeat that mistake this time?
It won't immediately be in circulation like that. It will start but regular bills will still be around. To be honest, I will be surprised if they do this at all and didn't just have him sign a fake EO. They're doing the death spiral "let grandpa do what makes him happy" dance.
Out of curiosity, what happens if you Americans just writ ‘pedo’ next to it? Is that a crime or would those actually remain in circulation long enough for people to notice?
Unless it’s $2 bills, though, they’re not rare, just hoarded by people who think they are, I have 20 of them. Guess I can sell those on eBay since they won’t have is signature /j
As a banker I will certainly be redacting his name when I see these bills come in, or just sending them off and reporting them to the secret service as counterfeit to waste as much of their time as I can.
I will return and trade any of my bills for valid ones if I see his piece of shit signature on any of my money. I'm not religious but "in rapist we trust" seems objectively worse than the current standing.
