Trump is the harmful kind of joke, like those that perpetuate racist stereotypes.

This is definitely a joke. Taking something to an absurd extreme is a valid source of humor and I feel like this does a solid job of parody. Nice little references thrown in, too.

At the same time, Poe's Law: "Without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views."

It's not really possible to out extreme the everyday reality of a president trump.

Ok, but really don't need to censor that, 'specially if you make a sticker for a gas pump. You'll just make it more difficult for the target audience to figure out what the words mean.

I am wayyy too lazy today but I desperately want to edit that to Yaranaika

If Trump put himself on the $250 bill he'd absolutely use an AI picture of himself as a homoerotic musclebro

You almost had me until I saw the comments and the ghost in the bill

I ain't givin' you no tree-fitty, you goddamn Loch Ness Monster! Get your own goddamn money!

I'm quite certain, that this is a parody account. But it's a testament to the platform (Xitter) that I cannot check that.

Only reason I questioned this bill was because Trump doesn't look cool enough here for Donald to have ever approved it stroke or not.

Deff could see this being real soon.

I actually think it's a pretty big miss that we didn't have a $250 bill planned for the country's 250th anniversary. Inflation makes a $250 bill reasonable.

Of course Trump on the bill is an abomination, but a $250 Harriet Tubman or Frederick Douglass or Paul Revere or Sam Adams would be pretty dope.

Edit: upon further thought, Revere should be on a silver coin.

John Brown is probably too controversial but, damn, that'd be something to see.

FDR would be a great choice for it, Teddy Roosevelt would be a generally agreeable one though.

Also let's get a $3 bill with Harvey Milk or Brenda Howard on it, just for the fun of it.

FDR threw 100,000 Americans into concentration camps. Get his fascist ass off the dime.

By that logic we shouldn't have anyone in politics on any money ever. Every politician has done fucked up shit.

So I vote we replace all humans with dogs on all money.

We need a POC on a bill, but Teddy is pretty cool too. My third favorite Republican.

True. I'd propose WEB DuBois, but he'd probably be insulted. Nat Turner would be the most based option, you could include a line like "the struggle for freedom is the birthright of all mankind" next to his face. Though that would work with Tubman as well. Tubman is the obvious choice of course and I do hope she wins, but it's good to also think of others who deserve to be considered.

Actually the perfect never going to happen would be Lucy Parsons

Or maybe we just stop putting faces on bills. We have all kinds of natural wonders we could put on the bills instead.

They were yuge! Yoomungus! These guys would come up to me with tears in their eyes (these were strong, burly MEN) and they would say "these bills are too big Mr. President! Look at the size of them! We need bigger pockets mr. President! Please help us!!"

I’m surprised it’s not a $500 bill so he could say he’s just like Mr. Monopoly.

wheter this is real or not, i still find it hilarious that the word "president" is all caps, and not the word "your"

Y'all ever see that Trevor Noah/Daily Show bit about how T is America's first African Dictator president? From back in 2016?

Yeah, me neither.

Connective real estate. Think about it. It's just there waiting for an innovator like you to swoop in and own it. Jump on this opportunity right now! Someone more innovative might pounce before you do!

Why 250? 200 is more convenient (one significant figure), much like 0.20.

Also, font galore. And there is no true EURion.
