    In his 26-page complaint, he has claimed that an elite group has launched a conspiracy to violate the Constitution. The entire complaint, which is more akin to a manifesto than a formal legal document, is presented in a single paragraph.

    Just let that sink in.

        one-ounce gold coin, valued at $40 trillion

        Trump was claiming that the reason that he wanted to stop minting the penny was because the metal was worth more than the value of the penny (while true, that’s not where the real cost of the penny comes from; it’s rather from the handling and processing costs). I assume that that was to pander to someone, so I’m wondering if maybe there’s a segment of the MAGA crowd that’s obsessed with the metal value versus face value of coins.

            Looks like it’s going forward. 2026 should be the last year that the US mints the penny.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_(United_States_coin)

            In 2025, the U.S. Mint announced a plan to end penny production after the 2026 production run.

          The hilarious thing is that these MAGA geniuses think that it costs 3.5 cents every time we use a penny, and that is obviously a bad deal, and Libz are too stupid and deliberately wasteful to understand that.

          The MAGA Economists haven’t figured out that it may cost 3.5 cents to manufacture it, but then it gets used millions of times, so the cost is amortized over those millions of uses, not just one.

          The thing that will ultimately save us is MAGA’s virtuosic incompetence.

        He will never have $40 trillion, and he’s got WAY more than $40 million.

        This reminds me of Austin Powers when Dr. Evil demands one billion dollars in the past, and one million in the present.

        Oh, he’s grifted WAY more than that. He entered the presidency in 2016 DEEP in the hole, and emerged in 2020 as a billionaire.

        A few weeks back, I read how Trump’s personal businesses has profited well into the billions in just this current term alone.

        40 Million? Those are amateur numbers, Trump is aiming for GOAT status among grifters.
