Donald Trump’s treasury department announced today that he will be the first U.S. President to have his signature on American Banknotes.
Scott Bessent announced in a statement that Trump’s name will appear alongside his as part of the nation’s 250th Anniversary.
““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,” Bessent wrote.
The Move comes as part of Donald Trump’s plans to consolidate power and transform the Constitutional Republic, which has been in place since 1788, into a Fascist theocracy, with him and his successor as the authoritarian leaders of this country.
Trump, whose health has been in question since his return to office, has made no qualms about his attempts to brandish his name on just about everything, from renaming the Kennedy Center to pressuring D.C. and New York to rename Dulles Airport and Penn Station after him, as well as his desire to rule absolutely, as his administration has openly defied court orders, bypassed Congress on a number of issues, threatened to withhold aid to states that defy him, has his Justice Department investigate and indict his political opponents, strong-arm media mergers to create institutions that refuse to go against him, on top of threatening to have media licenses revoked, and having ICE agents openly execute civilians in the streets of Minneapolis.
Democratic Backsliding in the U.S. Continues to become an issue. Last Week, V-Dem, a Swedish Institution that produces the Liberal Democracy Index, warned that American Democracy was sliding into authoritarianism at an unprecedented level, faster than Hungary and Turkey,
Trump putting his name on dollar bills is just the latest example of him firming his hold over the American Populace, and as the man becomes more, and more defiant, the window to stop the backslide is closing rapidly, and when that happens, it will be a dark day for us all.
