Are all the homeless Veterans housed?
Has the USA climbed in the PISA ranking?
Is the Strait of Hormuz open?
Is the fentanyl crisis solved?
Has there been a week without any mass shooting?
Has every American access to affordable health care?

Me thinks, your country has bigger issues than that.

Where did you get the idea it's supposed to be a big or important issue? It's a novelty issue. The lighter side of the news. Am I supposed to pack my bags for a guilt trip because I didn't post about a more serious news issue? Have you posted any news stories about those issues? Or do you just go around criticizing other people's contributions?

I think also it could be him using his mug shot as an official portrait as a way of sticking it to his enemies. And also maybe to be viewed as the portrait of a martyr.

Of course. The dichotomy of being both the victim and the victor is very important to the sensibilities of many people on the right.

You president seems to be very good at spending time for vanity projects (a military parade, the Arc de Trump, renaming the Kennedy art center, a UFC fight, now this bill).
Are these the most important issues? When shall we be able to thank Trump for his attention to the above mentioned matters?

In all likelihood such projects are being delegated, rather than the president spending time in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing working on the thing.

In all likelihood, I didn't expect Trump to get his hands dirty by doing manual work. He will not be operating the printing presses, he will not build the Octagon for the fight, etc.
But add everything up, and he spends an awful lot of time on the whole set of vanity projects (I forgot the Trump class battle ships).

All the more for you to lose sleep over thousands of miles away.

He looked a lot happier on the official photo during his first term. But I understand, he's a wartime president, so he needs to put on his "mean face".

It's the mugshot that his detractors were longing for. They wanted so badly for him to get arrested and get a mugshot. What they didn't anticipate is that he would be able to use it for his own purposes, much to the chagrin of his detractors.

You were hoping that picture would be on the $250 bill? Does this mean that you actually support the existence of a $250 bill with president Trump's photo on it?

The topic of the post thread you inserted yourself into was Trump's official photo, not the photo on the bill.

I think it would be more fitting to have a commemorative bill that, well, commemmorates the history of the USA. Maybe some pictures with the declaration of independence being declared, a big pile of buffalo bones, you know.

Then it would be different from all other Federal Reserve notes ever issued since all the others featured the image of a president. Are you willing to break with 250 years of tradition in order to commemorate the 250th year of this country?

You had commemorative notes at the founding of your country?

We had lots of things you may not be aware of.
