And if somehow this does go through, it can be added onto the pile of illegal actions as the law states that no living person may be placed on US currency.
Yeah, a commemorative coin of that incident where he received a bullet wound to the ear, which was miraculously fully healed just a couple of weeks after.
You mean a missing chunk of flesh, as small as it could have been, can be grown back in a couple of weeks? Are you Wolverine?
Bullets don’t make clean wounds.
But leaving that aside, the whole incident, the “historic”, heroic photo with the American flag in the back, and Trump pumping his fist as if he was leading some kind of struggle, it smells of staging. Even exposing himself to more shots is very atypical of a self-centered person like himself.
That’s precisely what I’m arguing. You only see this kind of bullet grazing that doesn’t take flesh in the movies. In reality, flesh is like jello to a bullet, it literally splashes. If you’re telling me it was just a tiny, clean, insignificant wound, why did it bleed that much in seconds?
Really, in what universe does a shockwave leave a clean wound? It’s literally an explosion, it would be even more messy.
This is the perfect, most-narcissistic, modern "stamping" of the finishing of an empire ( which will take years to take-down as much of the world as it can, with its death-spasms ) ever.
Glubb apparently deemed it to be about 10 generations ( presuming 25y/generation? ) I think .. each decade or so is more a distinct-generation, so therefore it'd be about 21-25 distinct generations per empire, then?
Whatever: once the identity of the ruling-class is completely-divorced from the actual-population's substance, then it's finished.
( also, whomever it was who did the profile-face artwork on that image, above, it's good skilful work, but it's dishonest: it doesn't represent the spirit of the real guy )

He's so old and unhealthy that he might legally qualify by next year.

Law says 2 years. 2027 maybe.

A one dollar coin with a picture of a loon, eh?

Oh we should totally call it a “loony” like the Canadian coin!

Would make for a good, tangible artifact for the fall of the American Empire

Nothing marks the fall of an empire quite like some nice shiny trinkets

Couple of weeks is a long time for a flesh wound to heal. Did you mean couple of days? I don’t know what the conspiracy is for this one.

I saw no evidence that there was any "missing chunk of flesh":
there was a little blood,
but having a supersonic projectile tear an old-man's skin with its shockwave doesn't mean the bullet actually touched him.

Bullet missed. His head was injured by a Secret Service agent when they rushed in to protect him.

US Treasury “Hey, America’s 250th anniversary is coming up. Who should we put on the coin?”
Someone “Harriet Tubman?”
US Treasury “Woke.”
Someone “George Washington?”
US Treasury “Who?”
Someone “Trump?”
US Treasury making gargling noises “Oh yes, we have to put big daddy in the coin.”

Empires generally only live 2-2.5 centuries..
