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.
