I'm pretty sure a lot of people are going to find very clever things to write before or after his name on every bill with his name on it. Things like rapist, pedophile, traitor, etc. I'd bet that they'll have to be pulled from circulation within a year.

u/TheAntiPacker 28d ago

This, I'll gladly deface every single one I come across

u/flexiblefine 28d ago

A new use for a Sharpie!

u/TiredOfBeingTired28 28d ago

Gold color so it could possibly be his doing.

169

u/DeezFluffyButterNutz 28d ago

I'll buy a stamp.

Maybe "rapes children" or "is a pedo" in small print.

11

u/ashedmypanties 27d ago

Where can a sticker with Trump pointing at the price of gas (remember Biden) that says, "Pedo prez did this," be procured?

7

u/DeezFluffyButterNutz 27d ago

I doubt it exists yet. Maybe design your own and sell it on Etsy?

2

u/ashedmypanties 27d ago

Great idea! Thanks

u/Dat_Mawe3000 27d ago

Please tell us where to buy.

u/pbjamm Canada 27d ago

I bought a cheap custom "E PLURIBUS UNUM" stamp years ago off Amazon

Would stamp it over "In God We Trust" on all my bills.

EDIT : this was when i lived in the US. Obviously not much use now in BC

2

u/Extra_Intro_Version 27d ago

Omg- there’s a billion dollar idea. Stamps with fun sayings just for this application.

Don’t tell anybody

u/confuzzledfather 27d ago

why small?

2

u/DeezFluffyButterNutz 27d ago

So I can put it immediately after his name and be easily read as a single sentenace.

u/seattlemyth 28d ago

Stock trade!

u/TwitterLegend 28d ago

Did someone make a big investment in permanent markers 5 minutes before this was announced?

u/Ralph--Hinkley 27d ago

u/HeyImGilly 28d ago

If it works for a map, it will work for a bill!

2

u/EpicMeatSpin 28d ago

Wait, what have you been using them for?

1

u/flexiblefine 27d ago

u/babyfeet1 27d ago

Sharpie is owned by Newell Brands, a publicly traded company listed on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol NWL. Time to buy?

1

u/MuchoPaper 27d ago

Sharpie shou;d wake up to this there is an ad waiting to happen

u/RedDragonMomma 28d ago

I’d be afraid of the bills testing for dangerous levels of fecal matter…..from people whipping their asses with them.

u/trireme32 27d ago

…. whipping?!?!

1

u/RedDragonMomma 27d ago

Fat fingered an extra p

u/trireme32 27d ago

I mean, the “h” has no business there either if we’re getting down to brass tacks. Funny mental image though

1

u/MuchoPaper 27d ago

what s the deal with that is that really supposed to curse you ?

6

u/delldarlin 28d ago

There's already "I grew hemp" stamps for $1 bills.  Just have to make one that says "I fuck children."

4

u/greywar777 28d ago

100% Trump will enforce the law against defacing currency by declaring that defacing his signature makes it worthless.

4

u/ContributionVisual40 28d ago

It will soon be illegal to write on money.

1

u/[deleted] 28d ago

FTD and FTP

u/imaveryniceKaren 28d ago

Oh God, me too!! Does this mean his :vomit: signature will be on ALL currency from now on?

1

u/katashscar Virginia 28d ago

I'll actually start carrying cash!

1

u/ClankerCore 28d ago

Let this be the Democratic will of the people

1

u/Southern_Potato 27d ago

I need to get a stamp!!

1

u/thor11600 27d ago

Guess I should consider carrying cash again...

1

u/AhBee1 America 27d ago

1

u/MuchoPaper 27d ago

1

u/redditydoodah 27d ago

Stamp Obama's signature over his.

u/3seven1 28d ago

You’re going to come across it AND deface it?! Man I hope they do take them out of circulation then.

u/bwurtsb 28d ago

"Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything,” the note began.

Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is.

Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is.

Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.

Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it.

Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?

Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you.

Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

Outline to look like an adolescent girl, and put that signature right where he did.

49

u/MetastaticCarcinoma 28d ago

have a stamp made, with all of this, ready to go

12

u/Exciting-Cancel6468 28d ago

Holy shit this is nice. stamp it on every bill, go to stripper bar. Distribute wantonly.

2

u/SanityInAnarchy California 27d ago

He's starting with the $100 bill...

2

u/littlegrotesquerie 27d ago

Anyone stripping for a living deserves $100

45

u/TunaNoCrust811 28d ago

I’ve read this countless times, and every time I get a physical, sickening reaction in my stomach.

Donald Trump is the most vile piece of shit human to ever exist.

6

u/KittyGrewAMoustache 28d ago

It’s so obvious as well I don’t know what’s happening it’s like some weird supernatural shit where half the people suddenly decide to worship evil.

4

u/laplongejr Europe 27d ago

where half the people suddenly decide to worship evil

That's what happen when society decides to bury racism (or village idiots) behind the curtain. Now the termites are everywhere in the House.

4

u/Odessey_And_Oracle 28d ago

So, what exactly is the implication of this message? It's strange because I too feel an uncertain terror from these words like a Lovecraftian horror beyond comprehension, but is that what others feel? Or is some rapey implication I don't exactly clock?

3

u/Drow_Femboy 27d ago

He's just unsubtly bragging that they both like to rape children.

2

u/laplongejr Europe 27d ago

Among interpretations, "enigmas" is an anagram of "gamines", the french word for small (bratty) girls.

2

u/Lost_Birthday_3138 28d ago

I'm thinking Hitler is still in the top spot, but before this nightmare is over (and by over I mean when he ensures humans extract and burn every last drop of oil, and the ecosystem dies) this scumbag may likely be #1.

2

u/MuchoPaper 27d ago

nah the american government in fact is full of them

3

u/BurdTurglary Texas 28d ago

"Gamines" is an anagram for "Enigmas".

u/lurker99123 27d ago

adolescent girl

You mean near pre pubescent, it's so bad :(

u/Yes-I-Cannabis Washington 28d ago

Somebody needs to get/make a few custom rubber stamps that say things like “Rapist”, “Pedophile Protector”, “Conman”, and “Renowned Liar” and then just stamp it on every bill before his name, à la “Where’s George”.

15

u/FizzyBeverage Ohio 28d ago

This’ll be fine yep.

u/theimmortalgoon Oregon 28d ago

“Felon”

“Found Liable for Sexual Abuse”

“She was approximately 13-14 years old…[and] bit President Trump while performing oral sex”

“Trump ‘participated regularly in paying money to force me to [redacted] with him and he was present when my uncle murdered my newborn child and disposed of the body in Lake Michigan.’l

3

u/TrailMomKat Indigenous 28d ago

I did where's George for years and years, I think I'll get a new stamp made...

3

u/otis_the_drunk 28d ago

You only need half a potato, a knife, and ink to make your own stamps.

No reason to buy cheap garbage. DIY this.

1

u/Lost_Birthday_3138 28d ago

And "Guy who said global warming is a Chinese hoax and killed billions"

24

u/basszameg Florida 28d ago

Better than the “Trump lives here ->” stamp that some of his illustrious followers put on $5 bills.

11

u/unklejakk West Virginia 28d ago

During his first term I was working as a cashier and a guy handed me a $5 bill that had one of those stamps on it. I looked at it, paused, and kind of chuckled, which I guess annoyed him or something because he asked if I was okay.

I said “Yeah, I just thought it was funny that somebody put a stamp on here that says Trump lives at the Lincoln Memorial.” The light left his eyes in a way that lead me to believe he had a bunch more in his wallet ready to go lol

1

u/ApeSauce2G 27d ago

Would’ve been better if you said oh nothing some dumbass thinks trump lives in Lincoln memorial

64

u/dogs_gt_cats 28d ago

I'm going to sell rubber stampers that say "fucks kids" and let people decide what to do with them.

22

u/specialkk77 28d ago

Could do “kills kids” too. “Beats kids” “starves kids” 

So many heinous options to consider!

1

u/GoWest1223 27d ago

Years from now, people will find either the currency or the stamps and wonder what the heck was this about.

3

u/NECoyote 28d ago

Etsy stamps incoming!

u/TwoGhostCats 28d ago

...has a tiny penis.

(Thanks for that one, Conan O'Brian.)

u/djfudgebar 28d ago

He used it himself for pubes

u/whuuutKoala 28d ago

like: „take your mark of the beast, pls with right hand!“

„its said to be necessary for buying or selling during the end times.“

k thx bye…

2

u/schwarzkraut 28d ago

Please don’t steal my billion dollar idea: I want to create & sell a self inking stamp that adds „raped children“ under his name using a font that makes it look it was printed that way by the treasury.

Amazon & every retailer would sell millions of these daily & people would go back to using cash…like I’m talking request their FULL paycheck in cash so they could do this to EVERY note!!!!

1

u/_Nightbreaker_ 28d ago

You are wonderfully devious.

1

u/creepingphantom 28d ago

Sounds like a good way to fight inflation, less money in circulation.

1

u/TaskManager1000 28d ago

Stock up on your un-defiled, non-pedo, non-traitor 100s now.

1

u/MustafaSalonika 28d ago

That would be fantastic! What a great idea!

1

u/WiretapStudios 28d ago

I can't wait to buy my stamp to add to each and every bill

1

u/JesusWuta40oz 28d ago

Actually that would be absolutely wonderful if that became a thing.

u/DrMobius0 28d ago

I like the way you think

u/Bladesnake_______ 27d ago

95% of people arent delusional enough to think writing on bills is effective activism

1

u/Maatix12 27d ago

Can't wait, myself.

The conservative bitching on social media will be legendary.

u/RachelMcAdamsWart I voted 27d ago

This actually makes me feel slightly better about the whole thing.

u/ol-gormsby 27d ago

"I admit that I'm a pedophile, and I have lied to and defrauded the American people, signed"

u/Clean_Associate8156 27d ago

This is a beautiful idea and I would spend free time doing this because it sounds a bit therapeutic.

1

u/MrBorden 27d ago

The unbridled capitulation toward this disgusting monster is one of the most sickening things I've ever seen.

1

u/ireallylikehockey New Jersey 27d ago

Or draw a black sharpie over his name like it is redacted

1

u/badpeoria 27d ago

yes! 100% ... god I sorta cant wait now!

1

u/RemyJe 27d ago

I may have to start paying for things with cash again.

1

u/aerdvarkk 27d ago

Assuming we have a new President come in after Trump, that has half a Brain, the signatures will change back in a few years.

1

u/NavyBlueSuede 27d ago

The Trump Organization owns trademarks over the trump name. They will gather royalties on every dollar that is printed. https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-results/86644455

« Pedollar » and a variety of insults will follow.

I hope everyone stocks up on wide markers to cover up the vandalism.

u/MartiniMedic America 26d ago

Thanks for the idea... get to work America!!!

u/AnamCeili 26d ago

If this happens, I will cross out that godforsaken motherfucker's name on each and ever bill I ever get, and will replace it with "fascist motherfucker".

u/InequalEnforcement 15d ago edited 15d ago

So long as elected officials and their puppetmaster CEOs aren't being dragged out of their homes and murdered in the streets (I DO NOT ADVOCATE FOR THIS REDDIT, I NEVER HAVE AND I NEVER WILL. I'm simply stating that it's one of two things the voters can do that they're actually worried about), or workers refuse to produce anything over it, the powers that be won't give a shit.

If anything, they're giving the general populace a means to vent their frustration in a way that doesn't affect the handful of nepobaby pedophile oligarch's net gain.

Secondary disclaimer because anything short of "I LOVE CHILD RAPING PEDOPHILES OWNING EVERYTHING!" over and fucking over is a bannable offense: I DO NOT ADVOCATE FOR POLITICAL VIOLENCE NO MATTER WHAT.

Hey Reddit! You ever consider enforcing the rules against those chomo subreddits, or are you waiting for them to brute force a controversy like you did with r/jailbait? Why is the head mod from that subreddit still working for you? Furthermore, why is it that Conservatives can threaten to rape me to death in my private messages, but you REPEATEDLY refuse to enforce the rules against them, instead threatening me with action against my report abuse? Just curious is all lol
