“President Donald Trump’s signature will be added to all future U.S. paper currency starting with the $100 bill, the first time in history that a sitting president’s signature will appear on American banknotes, the U.S. Treasury announced March 26.”

USA Today

The phrase “dollar is king” refers to the U.S. dollar’s role as the world’s dominant reserve currency and its primary position in global trade and finance.

Donald Trump posted “LONG LIVE THE KING!” on Truth Social after ending New York City’s congestion pricing program. He rules unilaterally, issuing executive orders to bypass Congress and he ignores judicial decisions, believing himself the final authority on legal matters.

To appease Trump’s king-size ego his John Hancok will be added to all future U.S. paper currency. The first $100 bills bearing his signature will be printed in June 2026.

Today I participated in a “No Kings” rally in Lynchburg, Va, I abhor how Trump is destroying our democracy by acting like a king who answers to nobody but himself. My readers may be surprised that I think his name belongs on currency, whether as an honor or otherwise.  

The dollar is no longer king. Brazil, Russia, India, China, Egypt, Indondesia, and South Africa are seeking to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar by settling trade in local currencies and developing alternative payment systems like BRICS Pay. Trump’s fascist behavior is accelerating the attempt to dethrone King Dollar. Trump’s scribble fits a falling currency.

Trump’s squiggle resembles an electrocardiogram and seeing it on our currency will give us hope that he will soon be dead of a heart attack or stroke. We all need a little bit of hope in these trying times.

By adding small dots to the peaks of his jagged, multi-peaked signature, the resulting image resembles a group of people wearing Ku Klux Klan hoods, making it the perfect symbol for his Nazi regime.

So yeah, I am down with Trump’s impression appearing on our currency.
