True signs of an aspring dictator

A friend of mine who works at Treasury overheard a scary conversation between Mnuchin and Trump. Trump was asking how he could get Washington's image replaced with his own on the quarter. Deranged does not even begin describe the state of this man's mind.

then I'm never doing laundry again.

Every vending machine in America will feel sleazy coming into contact with the Trump quarters.

for presidents (JFK half-dollars were out long before 1973), but not the dead part.

If he wishes to qualify, I got no problem with that.

I don’t think this passes the smell test..

Very low count poster

Extraordinary claim

Claim of inside info i.e. A “friend” who can get within listening range of not merely the U.S. Secretary of Treasury, but also simultaneously with the POTUS as well..

Sorry, this trips my bullshit meter..

Some random person in the Treasury Department would never be allowed to be close enough to Shitler to overhear a conversation. It’s bullshit.

Caught me. I made it up. But, consider this. Trump has 'joked' that we should give "President for Life" a try (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/democracy-post/wp/2018/03/07/trump-as-president-for-life-thats-no-joke/?utm_term=.42bcd949d245).

Laws are merely words to him. Do you really think the 25 year dead rule would stop him from considering such an outrageous proposal?

BTW, I wonder if Infowars would get the joke?

Don’t present information as fact when it’s lie. How many people read that and have repeated it thinking you were being truthful? Nope nope nope.

It turns out that republicans love bullshit and hate the truth. Weird. Sad.
