US treasurer says officials looking at drafts for country’s 250th anniversary featuring president with raised fist

To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the US’s independence, the treasury department is mulling production of a $1 coin displaying Donald Trump with a clenched first under an American flag and the words “fight, fight, fight”.

The words overtly reference what Trump said immediately after narrowly surviving an assassination attempt four months before he won a second presidency.

Commemorating his call to commit treason on Jan 6. Wonderful.

What better way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of ditching the old dictator than by celebrating the new one.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

after narrowly surviving an assassination attempt

Yeah at this point with how weird everything was and how they were purposefully lining up media to take photos, I'm on the side of it being a wrestling-inspired "ketchup packet" move.

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah super weird the way that a dude on a stage with a ton of photographers around him has a good photo taken of him. You never see badass photos taken at an nfl game or anything. This is real evidence of a conspiracy.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

An NFL game doesn't usually have an active sniper situation happening where the person they're taking a photo of by all means shouldn't be standing up again so the sniper can get another shot off. Nor are they usually shuffled into place by the staff of the person who was shot at for a great photo opportunity.

But sure, let's compare it to something entirely different and not life threatening, that makes sense.

Sure whatever you think.

He is a pedophile, a dictator, a rapist, and a fraud.

These coins will be another shit stain on America.

[–] arin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is what happens when we fail to educate Americans. School system fell too far behind while the wealthy kept evading taxes

Nothing narrow about it...

Shot wasn't anywhere near him, he's just on so much blood thinners a tiny scratch bled like crazy

Someone reason his hand turns into a giant bruise from handshakes.

Cadet bone spurs has only ever ~~fought~~ attacked women and children

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 13 points 1 year ago

Oh those are good labels for bullet casings.

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

It will be plated in fake gold that flakes off in 6 months and turns your fingers green if you hold it too long.

This will not cause inflation at all. /s

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fuck tar and feathering, press this shit out of tin and throw them at republicans. Make sure to throw it like a skipping stone.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Preferably out of some sort of device that propels it extremely fast

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

It sure looked like prearranged acting when trumps ear bled and he stood up and yelled fight (3 times...just like Hitler).

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago

If this happens I will refuse to take it as change

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Is he calling us out to fight him? I think I could take him easily.

[–] BoloMKXXVIII@piefed.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As long as the picture shows him behind bars...

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Or that mug shot. Engrave it with "never surrender"

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Next up: the words "positive" and "negative" will be changed into "Trump" and "Trump".

You are HIV Trump. 😊😔😊😔

[–] Zeke@fedia.io 4 points 1 year ago

What a weirdo. This clearly belongs in the trash.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am sure it will smell like shit.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

"Ugh, what's that [smell]?!"

"MY ASS"

[–] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Can’t have this overshadow his ballroom.
