  1. Is this Trump’s version of “Only Nixon can go to China”? Because can you imagine if a Democrat ordered the end of pennies. There’d be accusations of “stealing Lincoln from our wallets”.

  2. Really, Congress ought to be signing off on it, and it won’t save much money, but the premise is sound.

    Finally this fucking tinpot dictator wants to use his superpowers for good.

    For those wondering, yes he can legally do this without Congress. 31 U.S. Code § 5111:

    >The Secretary of the Treasury shall mint and issue coins described in section 5112 of this title in amounts the Secretary decides are necessary to meet the needs of the United States

    The Treasury Secretary can decide that zero pennies are necessary to meet the needs of the United States.

  4. you can tell some little groyper White House intern dipshit is super proud of that last line
