Think of it this way… He’s probably not earning royalties on it, so at least you’re not enriching him that way.
(Fuck, though, it would just be like him to “license” his image to the government, and they pay him a fee every time it is used.)

I can picture one of these abominations being discovered, far into the future - like when a child in England unearths an old Roman Coin- and the finder trying to figure out what’s on top of his head. Will they think it’s some kind of helmet? A small animal?
The only problem with that is that if enough people think like you do it won’t be rare at all.
What do you mean? It’ll be just a rare as my Beanie Babies and twelve copies of X-Men #1, each with a different foil cover!
I like making money as much as the next guy, but even if this was a sure thing, I’d pass. I have to live with myself.
You know who else made money licensing his image for government use on stamps, right?
I dunno. How much are Happy Meal Beanie Baby collections going for these days?
I’m just imagining some future pawn shop proprietor saying “best I can do is 2 bits”
I’m not a WW2 buff but do take an interest in history. Somehow this aspect of the Hitler story—that he used his position to enrich himself—was unfamiliar to me.
It deserves to be more widely known!
45/47 being an economics graduate from University of Pennsylvania, one might well be drawn to conclude he achieved this without attending any Econ 1.001 lectures.
He listened to the part about the Laffer curve but imagined the revenue going to his own pockets instead government coffers. Getting elected President was a dream come true for him, especially the second time after he’d had an extra four years to figure out the grift.
Looking back in hindsight we might have been better off had he won in 2020 instead of Biden.
And it is somehow worse than the original image; he looks dopey, eyes unfocused, mouth askew. It reminds me of those bronze busts that go hilariously wrong, but in coin form.
Diemakers’ subtle revenge?

Heh, that’s a good thought. ![]()

Laffing all the way to the bank.

I’ve had the same thought. But then I also thought that perhaps Don Jr. would be president right now.
Don’t worry; his turn’ll be in 2028. Unless Don Sr. “wins” reelection then.

I think you may be right with respect to the shamelessness of the corruption. If they’d been sort of transitioning from 2020 into 2021 and so on, there might not have been the Project 2025 blueprint available yet. The destruction of the US government would likely have gone much more slowly.
On the other hand, the indifference of Donald and crew to the health of Americans might have hit a lot harder. COVID might not have been tamed to the level it was in the Biden Administration—there might have been more of that eugenics “let the weak die off” and that could have made a practical difference in the death toll.
He doesn’t even pretend any more that there’s no insider information. In fact, he’s making even more of a profit.
President Donald Trump’s media company is planning to charge for special high-speed access to Truth Social posts, including possibly his own affecting national security and financial markets.
The move announced Thursday would allow Wall Street trading firms and other institutions to get news from top Truth Social contributors in milliseconds so they could profit off subsequent moves in stocks, bonds and interest rates.

Anyone, anyone surprised at ALL? The corruption continues.
He has sold the presidency of the United States. Think about that.
And congress does nothing. SCOTUS does nothing.
And now DJT has imposed 50% tariffs on many goods imported from Canada, because they’re not buying enough of our stuff.
President Donald Trump on Monday imposed 50% tariffs on most Canadian goods, declaring that Canada has unfairly discriminated against American autos, alcohol and dairy products.
…The official said that Trump had also requested that his aides look into additional tariffs on Canada because its wildfires hurt air quality in the U.S.

The move could unleash a new wave of economic chaos, pushing inflation higher and fraying relations between Washington and one of its closest allies.
Didn’t the courts rule that he can’t unilaterally impose tariffs?
