Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent seen writing profanity-laced self-note at Cabinet meeting
I agree with Scott Bessent that Congress should take a vote about putting Trump's face on currency. Let's get every Republican on record about it.
TheSnarkTank87As long as he follows the law that no living president can be depicted on currency I’m fine with it.
Saint Sherman - The Ultimate Patriot69Me waiting for congress to stop one thing.
Brown Eyed Susan40It's a no from me
Sissy Spacecake 🏴🇬🇧🇪🇺35I hate that you've got Donald fucking Trump as your President for what should be a huge celebration this year. This is not about him. It's about America celebrating 250 years of union, and getting rid of, well . . . us 🇬🇧 And he's stealing it for himself. I hate his fucking guts. Grrr
@SuzanaD321Just like congress voted on this
Alan Bunteman21“In Dear Leader we Trust” will be a Republican submitted amendment to the currency format #FDT
Walt H16I’m for it, as longs as it’s the $666 bill.
Tim the Enchanter14Nope. They belong on poo bags and nothing else.
Joel Klebanoff 🇨🇦10The Trump face on US currency thing has huge, HUGE, Dear Leader cult vibes. (Disclosure: I'm Canadian.)
Amanda Delcambre10Trump has already shown (i.e. Cornyn) that unwavering loyalty to him is above all else. They’ll all vote for it for fear of his wrath. And the cult base will love it too.
The Bishop9How bad did trump's dad beat him to make him this needy
🌮 Alacrity's Ghost7wait- if Putin kicks, they can put it on the ruble.
Steve7If it doesn't pass, Trump will get some counterfeiter to make up a batch of 4,547 of them to auction off for the low low price of @245.47 telling potential buyers they are saving $4.53 on each one. 🙄
RealOnionWars6By law no one can be on currency unless they are dead. If Trump agrees to those terms I'm fine with it. I don't even care how he chooses to die, as long as he does it alone and this week. 😁
knightsmom.bsky.social5Trump will find a way to profit from it….you can have a limited edition $250 bill w/ Trump on it for the low price of $500 🤪
Pere Jes4The Republicans would have no choice but to vote for it. And in the future, when asked about it, will say they feared trump's retaliation and perhaps threats on their lives along with harm to their loved ones. They'll have every excuse but the one we already know: they were cowards.
Jack Brand4Fetterman will vote for the $250 bill, guaranteed.
Suedemaker4Someone should propose putting *every* President's picture on the commemorative bill since they all had a part in getting us here.
Michael B Lehrhoff4Scott Bessent himself will be on new American Vichy currency, as a symbol of craven accommodation of fascism.
Patric Reynolds4If they actually do vote for this and make it a thing, I will seriously consider using this currency for toilet paper.
SavRTruthTiger 💙🌊🌊🌊💙3Trump’s face on currency is akin to requiring the U.S. Department of the Treasury to print pornography.
WhiteTigerWarrior3I refuse to have trumpo's face on anything
Green Hombre2Trump demanded a vote on his wall during midterms 45. Result? Nancy retook the gavel. Please, proceed.
Michael Dominic2the face of a child rapist can buy one tank of gas!
Morgan2I think the answer by Scott & the Treasury should be NO! If you need a vote, ask the taxpayers!
American needs to become ungovernable before Trump realises his wet dream of becoming Biff in Back to the Furture II
Jim Zakany2There is already a law.
famouskopites.bsky.social2One could almost say there's lots of things that should be voted on in congress to get things on the record.
Lea Francis2If I am giving currency with his face on it back to the bank it will go.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just said he doesn't think "there's anything untoward about having the President of the United States" on a 250th anniversary $250 bill.
Karmageddon28It's a violation of federal law so there's that.
Hayden Black12It would be the most expensive new way to wipe your ass. But worth it.
Trixie 🌸🇨🇦9I would hope they’ll all get recalled once Democrats are back in power. I would also hope that Democrats prioritize removing his name, face and gaudy decor from everything and anything in the entire country. He’s a traitor.
Aster Vérité7How many billions is trump demanding for the use of his likeness?
Before Bessent has a chance to roll that out - perhaps we should put the photo of this alleged $250 bill with Trump’s mug shot on it on rolls of toilet paper. It’s more befitting of Trump. Also, we only put dead presidents / people on our bills…does Bessent know something we don’t?
mungonna8.bsky.social6therez a law against that..no, not being a asshole..but a law that prohibits living President from placing themselves on money..its may not be untoward...BUT ITS AGAINST THE LAW......
Justin3There’s nothing untoward as he has been a dictator from day one.
autumnone.bsky.social3I’ll never see a $250 bill. U less it comes from utility company.
Rich Brome3No one will actually use it as currency, so my question is how much will it cost (waste) just to create this useless thing?
🕊GIVE PEACE A CHANCE🕊3Laws against this already exist! Bessent still hasn't learned the first thing about the job he was assigned to!
blueduck 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇲🇽2How about it’s Fucking ILLEGAL
EARNED MY SPURS: "THIS IS MY EXTRAORDINARY PARADISE" 🐎2Serious question: who needs a $250 bill, with or without trump's ugly face on it?
really1212.bsky.social2The only honest part of that quote was- Scott Bessent just said he doesn't think. That's obvious every time he opens his mouth.
Standard fare for Scott Bessent press conferences these days: lots and lots of words, usually contradictory or making no sense.
Karoli6It's Bessent's turn to be press secretary, I see. What a bunch of buffoons.
Chris Nimmo3Bessent talks complete word salad as far as I can make out. It's nonsensical rubbish.
Zach Galifinakis has a bit where he smugly scoffs, slowly removes his glasses, and says, "I don't know HOW to read." That's Scott Bessent.
Secretary Bessent tells reporters almost 2,000 ships are waiting to come out of the Gulf. On reports of a deal, Bessent says the “teams have been going back and forth, and President Trump has made it very clear he has several red lines… He’s not going to take a bad deal.”
Shipwreck29Bessent says he had a call with the Omani Ambassador this morning, who assured the Treasury Secretary there are no plans for “tolling the Strait.”-Bloomberg
Emily4Iran has no motive to give Trump a good deal. The oil shockwave is still heading towards us like a tsunami, Trump is a zombie and Wall Street is still pretending everything is awesome as Americans add getting to work to the list of things they can't afford. I hate this stupid timeline.
During a White House briefing, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Treasury has prepared in advance for legislation that would allow President Trump’s face to be portrayed on a $250 bill.
coctaanatis.bsky.social7First convicted felon to appear on US currency.
Martin Robertson5You have been couped. You live in Trumpistan.
Self Driving Humans4This is insulting. When Americans can't afford gas, groceries, health care, home insurance, medications etc and he wants to come out with a $250 bill with his face on it? I think Democrats can savage Republicans over this and they'll deserve it.
Sybil Schwartzbach, LMT3It wouldn't have any Credibility.
gertrude1907.bsky.social2The party of fiscal responsibility, law & order and family values is dead. The Cult of Trump and his worshipers are thriving?
JailElonMusk2Make life more affordable? Nah, just put my orange dopey fucking face on a new bill we have to print because of inflation that we caused.
Adrian2Would Trump be wearing a crown and holding a sceptre?
