The Babylon Bee comes up with some good stuff!
I thought he was a good President. His biggest selling point for me is that the people that hate white people, straight people, Christian people, conservative people, rural people, self sufficient people, independent people, and patriotic people hate him too!
It would be good to have an enemy of ANTIFA in the Whitehouse again!

Earlier today, my wife said he ought to pay it with pennies. Nickels would be almost as good. Heck paying with dollar bills would keep them busy for a while. 😁

That’s 8.75 billion nickels.
Dump truck? Or three?
My late night calculations say 97 million pounds.

And throw some plugs in there too, so they have to inspect and count every damned one!

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I could be wrong but, 175,000,000 x 20=3.5 billion.
Unless I am doing the math wrong. Still a lot of nickles.

That would be a shame, because nickels are actually worth more than $.10 based upon the nickel and copper content. It’s the last currency that has not been debased. Save your nickels. Better to use post-82 pennies or post-65 dimes or quarters.

My late night calculations say 97 million pounds. Can't sleep, or does your mind just work thst way? I'd be afraid to pay with coins, if you need 8.75 billion nickels how many valuble ones would slip through? You probably can't go to the mint and say I need 8.75 billon nickles in 10 days. Though it would be very fun to see the convoy of trucks dumping them in NYC at the feet of the NYAG and Governor. Then when all the illegals and homeless line up and steal the coins in pillow cases and dirty socks and run off beating the cops with the money Trump paid. I'd say justice was finally served in NYC. I bet Trump could do a 10 minute dialog on the whole scene, that would have everyone ROFLAO.

Clyde You are correct, not 8.75 billion. It was a late night. Only 39 million pounds. 🤓

I think the law allows limits on the use of coins for paying for stuff, but dollar bills are clearly marked as legal tender for all debts, public and private.

Better to use post-82 pennies or post-65 dimes or quarters. When the SHTF, I doubt that nickels will get you much, but you could drill a little hole near the edge and make a pretty good fishing sinker with one.

The heck of it all is a nickel doesn't have a nickel's worth of metal in it.
