Trump's Signature to Be Added to U.S. Dollars, First for a Sitting President

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03/26/us/trump-news

U.S. dollars will bear the signature of President Trump later this year, the Treasury Department said, an unprecedented change to the nation’s currency that the department said is being made in honor of America’s 250th anniversary.

As a result, Mr. Trump is set to be the first sitting U.S. president to have his signature on the currency. It is expected to appear alongside that of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and replace the name of the U.S. treasurer, whose name has been on the currency for more than a century.

“There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S. dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial,” Mr. Bessent said in a statement.

Curiously, the Milwaukee Inkzall pens are manufactured in China while the Sharpie is made in Maryville, Tennessee.

During the Bush/Cheny regime, I had stamps made saying “Impeach Bush”, and “torture is terrorism”.

Every evening after work, I would go through my wallet and stamp any new bills. I did this for years, from the beginning of the Iraq war, until he left office.

Note: it’s perfectly legal, first amendment protected speech. It’s only illegal if you attempt to alter the denomination or otherwise commit a fraudulent act.

And even for small purchases at grocery stores. It just seems faster.

The speed part is about to change. I will carry spare older singles pre Shitstain.

A clerk hands me a dollar with his name on it, they will be getting it handed back with 4 singles and I will request a $5. If I don’t have enough singles, they can give me quarters.

This may be a good way to keep the toddler busy and out of mischief. Put him in a room with millions of dollar bills and a carton of Sharpies and tell him he gets to sign each and every bill.

Now I have to examine the currency I have on me to make sure I don't have any bills with "its" name on them.

In the past, here in EU-land, everybody always wanted the newest dollar-denominated bills when they came out. Now, the Europeans will all be wanting the older ones.

Every one needs to withdraw ALL our fucking money out of the banks before his signature is on it...I'm talking a run on the banks like the depression.

Put it in our mattresses.

If I get a bill with his signature, I’ll very neatly write the word ‘sucks’ after his name. Juvenile I know, but might be fun.

The fans would think it’s ridiculous.
