| The real Elvis Social Security card |
From The Daily Beast:
President Donald Trump may be considering a flashy upgrade to one of the government’s most mundane documents—after a visit to Graceland left him impressed by Elvis Presley’s taste for gold.
During a tour of Presley’s famed Memphis estate on Monday, Trump, 79, was shown a collection of the late singer’s personal belongings—including a gold-colored Social Security card that appeared to spark an idea to beautify the blue-and-gray paper card first issued back in 1936. …
As the guide paraded the customized item, she made clear to the president that the card was only for show.
“The gold metal Social Security cards were not officially issued by the government,” she explained, describing it as a “novelty item” popular at the time because standard paper cards would often wear out.
That didn’t stop Trump from floating a revival.
“Good idea,” he replied. “Maybe we should do that again.” …

Actually would be really cool
The 🤡 show continues. How long before the midterms?
Two words… cognitive test.
Signature on the US bills..
Treasury secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement: “Under President Trump’s leadership, we are on a path toward unprecedented economic growth, lasting dollar dominance, and fiscal strength and stability. There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J Trump than US dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial.”
MAGA in the house!
The agency wants to make the cards digital. This would throw a wrench in the plans the chiefs have. If Trump wants gold they will need to print gold cards!
