    As a Brit, for whom the colloquial for pennies is “pence” like “ten pence” is 10p, I feel he’s missing a trick not putting his fat leather apron of a face on the nickel or dime. Because then you could have “Trump pence”. You could call it a Trumpence

      That is pretty clever. Except it would already be dated since Trump attempted to get Pence lynched by an angry mob a few years back

      I recall a Brit (I think?) giving a rundown on European slang, and it was something akin to pence meaning “fart”, so all the stickers that said “Trump Pence” looked to them like stickers that boldly proclaimed “Fart Trumpet!” …which is kinda just synonymous anyway, but it lined up nicely!

      Right, well, Trump & Pence haven’t been on great terms since 2020. So I don’t think he’d appreciate the Trump-pence coin. You’re clever, though, never thought of that.

      Pence ain’t a thing no more mom ami. Trump tried to have him killed on Jan 6th and he’s been a nothingburger since then
