I expect we’ll be seeing a herd of nominees, to be frank, for this award. Here comes one now!
Those who carry cash would have a denomination as an option with President Donald Trump’s face, at least under the idea of one of South Carolina’s congressmen.
U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson, R-Springdale, a staunch supporter of Trump, says he’s planning to propose a $250 dollar bill to include the president’s portrait.
“Bidenflation has destroyed the economy forcing American families to carry more cash. Most valuable bill for (the) most valuable President!” Wilson posted on X. Federal law, however, prohibits any living person from being depicted on U.S. currency. [The State (South Carolina)]
Older readers may remember Rep Wilson (R-SC) as the dude who shouted “You like” during an Obama-delivered State Of The Union speech. (I seem to remember he later apologized.)
Since inflation makes cash a least preferred instrument of wealth, his excuse for this little boondoggling flattery of President Trump collapses immediately; and, since the economy was in better shape at the end of President Biden’s term than at the end of Trump’s first term, the rest of his statement collapses as, ummmmm, lies.
So ol’ Earl, excuse me, Joe, places allegiance to an icon of corruption and narcissism over an allegiance to truth, to honesty. Someone remind me why South Carolina keeps returning Rep Wilson to Congress. Is it ‘cuz they don’t want him in South Carolina?
