Ah.
I do hope said clerk is witty enough to bite the coin to see if it is real.
Considering the Regime’s general record on competence (i.e. ‘not much’), who would be surprised if the coin just broke apart when bitten?
They aren’t buying it to spend it, they are buying to have a cherished memento of their lord and savior to have for the rest of their lives.
You don’t have to turn to the obituary pages. Like the joke goes: A guy walks up to the news stand, picks up a newspaper, and sets it back down. The confused seller asks if he’s looking for something. The buyer says he’s just checking for an obituary. The seller says, “You didn’t even open it up.” The buyer says, “Oh, this obituary will be on the front page.”
I’m hoping for church bells to be ringing out the good news.
That would be most excellent.
On the other hand, if that started happening, the Regime would probably start a rumor that X% of all coins produced have a DIAMOND inside.
People would be buying and biting, buying and biting…
It’s more likely they would be arrested.
Belle pf the Ranch comments.
The thing is, if his face on the coin was in profile, you could actually probably make it look decent and noble and presidential, but he has the worst taste imaginable, so of course it’s of him in a suit glowering directly at the person holding the coin.
I think it’s more that, to him, taste is irrelevant. The pose is supposed to be intimidating, not attractive. Clearly taking Mussolini as his model, with about as much success and, we can hope, a similar end.
Even Mussolini had the taste to have himself depicted in profile on his coins, though.
Taste is irrelevant.
More taste (if any) didn’t make Mussolini any better for his country. Less taste doesn’t make Trump any worse.
My god, are we at a fucking garden party here, clucking about hats?
We now have proof that DJT reads the Dope.
He just doesn’t understand much of the content, like the title of this thread.
Pedant moment:
People used to bite coins to see if they were real gold (biting would leave a slight indentation) as opposed to a counterfeit.
Trump’s dollar is largely copper with a brass coating, so biting it would be pointless as well as potentially nausea-inducing.
It’s a mystery, given Donald’s fascination with gold, that he didn’t demand the coin be at least gold-plated. It’s ftting though that it’s a phony, like the turd it’s modeled after.
I intend for the proposed action to annoy the guy trying to pass the coin, not actually determine the composition.
They’re supposed to be copper with a brass coating. I’d bite one to make sure Trump didn’t make it out of something cheaper, like cardboard
If I had to bet money, I would bet against Donald choosing to look more like Fred. Instead I’d bet that whatever treatment he’d been using to make his (likely) yellowed-white hair look Golden Blond, has made his scalp so damaged and ripped up that infection is a daily threat.
In June we saw photos of a big patch of irritated skin near his collar. I bet there’s more of that under what’s left of his hair.
So someone sold him on the idea that the darker rinse would help his scalp to heal (I would bet). This guy ADORES blondness and Gold, and wouldn’t go brown unless basically forced to do so (by health issues).
I don’t know, according to my hairdresser husband, all hair colors are about equally damaging to the scalp. If someone sold him on something that doesn’t end up working, they’re going to have to rely on his short attention span to get away with it, and when it’s about his image and appearance, that may not work out for them.
That all makes sense.
I just can’t imagine him abandoning his attraction to blondness, unless it’s because he believes it will help control pain he’s feeling in the scalp area. (Maybe it’s not a dye at all but an “ointment” that happens to darken.)
I mean, it’s not as though appearing with brownish hair could be expected to have people dropping to their knees in awe at the stunning manliness (or whatever) that brown hair conveys…
My question is: is it still brown? I haven’t seen his stupid face today; yay for me. I’m curious about the above question, but I’m not curious enough to want to Google for pics. of his stupid pumpkin head, creepy hunched back, and unidentified caboose. So anyone know?
