Trump Signature Set for US Dollar Bills in Historic First

Geez, this guy was a major donor for Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. It’s yet another pathetic display of institutional sycophancy from a man who clearly values a pat on the head over the dignity of his office.

Not only the current USD bills are too small for his scribbling, but they need to be in solid Gold 24 karat. If he can put a Golden Tractor on the White House lawn to impress Farmers, then the bill in gold is a must.

Watching this circus from Europe/Thailand, Donald Trump is a gift that keeps on giving.

I love the old British humour, like "Nine o'clock news", and the great Monty Python crew, but this American administration is doing everything they can to set a new standard in humour.

OMG.....Just thought.....if they all have his signature on them.....will he be able to legally claim they belong to him?????

Imagine all the notes that will be defaced. Everyone will scribble all over that pigs face.

Whatever prestige or dignity the members of his cabinet had prior to joining the circus, it is long gone by now, and they have all got used to where I knee pads and sucking up to the toxic monster. Reptiles. All of them. Trump didn't drain the swamp, he replaced the creatures in the swamp with 14 ft. crocodiles.

They should put an image of Bessent's tongue up the orange blob 's generous behind, licking and sucking for essential nutrients, on the bills.

That might accelerate the transition of USD to the Yuan and Euro as reserve currencies.

He will try.

I hope the US Dollar does not take the same nosedive the crypto coin and stock with his name on it did.

The election was a binary choice between at least acceptable and the criminally corrupt absolute MONSTER that we got (again).

Harris was never my first choice if there had been a real democratic party primary.

Sadly Biden is totally to blame for that not happening.

So your question is straw man GARBAGE.

I find leftists blaming Biden hilarious.

Harris could not think of ANYTHING she would have done differently than Biden when asked in a softball interview.

The most important decision of her career, and Harris chose stolen valor Walz.

The administration of Donald Trump will place the president’s signature on US banknotes, the Treasury Department says, in what would be the first time a sitting president’s name appears on the nation’s currency.

Get today's headlines by email

Treasury officials say the change will coincide with celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the United States. Traditionally, American banknotes carry the signatures of the treasury secretary and the US treasurer rather than the president.

Treasury Plans Unprecedented Currency Change

Under the plan, new $100 bills bearing the signatures of Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are due to begin printing in June. Additional denominations are expected to follow.

Officials describe the move as a symbolic tribute tied to the anniversary of American independence.

Break From Longstanding Practice

Since 1861, US currency has included the signature of the US treasurer along with that of the treasury secretary. The new design would end that long-standing arrangement by replacing the treasurer’s signature with that of the president.

Bills currently in production still carry the signatures of former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who served under former President Joe Biden, and then–US Treasurer Lynn Malerba.

Treasury Secretary Bessent said the decision aims to highlight both the country’s history and the role of the current administration.

“There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J Trump than US dollar bills bearing his name,” Bessent said.

Anniversary Celebrations and Symbolism

The initiative forms part of broader government efforts linked to the nation’s upcoming anniversary. In 1776, the 13 original colonies declared independence from Britain, an event commemorated each year on Independence Day.

Current US Treasurer Brandon Beach said the redesigned currency would continue to represent the country’s economic strength.

“Our currency will continue to stand as a symbol of prosperity, strength and the unshakable spirit of the American people,” he said.

The decision also follows other initiatives that feature Trump’s name as part of anniversary-related commemorations.

Political Response

The announcement drew criticism from some political opponents. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat and long-time critic of the president, attacked the move while referencing rising living costs in the United States.

“Now Americans will know exactly who to blame as they're paying more for groceries, gas, rent and health care,” Newsom wrote on social media.

Earlier this month, a federal arts commission also approved a commemorative 24-karat gold coin carrying Trump’s likeness, another item planned to mark the country’s 250th anniversary.

During Trump’s first presidency, his name also appeared on federal stimulus cheques issued to millions of Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic, an unusual step at the time for government payments.

This is very good news for the American patriots that love America. I would also like to see President Trump's picture on a U.S. currency. Cannot wait to get my new bills with President Trump's signature.

Wonder what the people who really hate Pres. Trump (not referring to forum members here) when they receive such Dollar Bills? Might give new meaning to money going up in smoke.😀

I watched the new Peaky Blinders film last night - featured this old English £5 note. Think it got changed as it got forged so much in WW2.

Operation Bernhard forced a change in size, but the blue fiver didn't appear until 1957.

A long forgotten BBC series about the Operation

Wait.

Trumps signature is just TOO BIG for American money.

Won't they need to triple the size of American paper money?

Remember the size of a pound note from many decades ago?

We will need American money AT LEAST that size.

a better idea !

Why stop there, shouldn't his signature be accompanied by his mugshot? I'm just really glad he isn't vain!

Don't want those in my wallet.....

America is a lost case. At least for the next 3 years. I hope every decision Trump made, can be reversed. Every single one.

Now he has left NATO as well. He's just like a crying baby, when not getting his way.

Head is too small, wasted retail opportunities.

Try and look on the bright side. One of these days trump will be in a nursing home slurping soup and babbling about how he was a better golfer and had a bigger penis than arnold palmer. The cult is finally cracking and even a few are admitting albeit reluctantly that they got lied to conned and treated like fools by a trust fund fast talking reality show star.

After the nov midterms...assuming trump doesn't place ICE thugs at all polls to
"vet" any voter who doesn't fit the cult profile and arrest deport or shoot them....when dems take house and senate just maybe they will be able to begin to undo the horrible mess trump has created....trump will no doubt attempt to continue to ignore the law.....maybe just maybe after trump has called his own supreme court right wing corrupt buddies criminals and worse they too will actually honor the law and constitution .

At some point the military and police will have decide whether to follow orders from a mad man or say no i will not shoot fellow americans, i will not block voters from voting, i will do my job and honor the oath i took and our justice department will actually consider the concept than no man is above the law.

we shall see

Sorry, YES.

I did mean the UK five-pound note.

I had meant that giant note.

But, even that FIVE-POUNDER...is probably still not big enough for Trump.

I recall the one....

This note that you are referring to is also featured in the great film,

Or, it might be some other denomination, maybe 1000 pounds, or I forget.

This one looks like the whopper. 211x133mm introduced in 1945. You would have thought with rationing and a shortage of paper they would have made it smaller not bigger.

For comparison A5 is 148x210mm.
