NEW YORK, NY — After news broke that the bond amount in his fraud case had been lowered from $454 million to $175 million, former President Donald Trump announced he would pay the bond in its entirety with bags of nickels.

I like Trump no matter how much bad they say about him.

Me too, and hate them more.

I hope he does

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!

Would bet fake news! Should pay it in pennies!

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!

Rabbit hole stuff...

The Bee has done amazing work in a world where the difference between satire and truth is like 15 minutes!

Ain't that the damn truth !

Are there 8.75 billion nickels in circulation? lol

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.

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.

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.

The Bee is a hoot…..

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.

That’s a lot of nickels

Who’s talking about SHTF???? I already have enough split shot and other fishing sinkers to use. If you don’t have anything to say about debased coins vs. our current nickel STFU

This Boyz at Genius ..

If you take it a Step Further you’ll see none of the Money you have in your wallet is worth anything

The whole Money Thing is based on Belief and Belief is about to get Challenged ..

But before that happens the Second Taking has to Happen..

First the Unchecked Spending by Congress and the Treasury’s Printing Machine both Money and T Bill Debt ..

The Fed Buying most of the Debt which hides the Worthlessness of the Currency

Second the Monetary Invisible Hand which comes in the Form of Inflation

As Congress, Treasury and the Fed continue their Looting Belief in the Currency Will Dissolve ..

The Fact that Gold and Bitcoin are rapidly gaining Strength should be a Red Flag that we’re near a Monetary Collapse

Ask Ted Curse,Little Marco and Yes the South Carolina Bell Sweet Tea Lindsay

They Know

As of 2022 it costs uncle Sam 10.41 cents to produce every nickel due to the nickel & copper prices and admin costs.

Put a several hundred pounds of them in front of the doors to the AG’s and Judge’s offices..

Yeah....he's so WICKED I want his ass in the OVAL OFFICE AGAIN....sooner the better!!
