With his picture on the front?
And the back.

And the watermark. Twice.
Best watermark ever.
Everyone tells me so.

Looking at Trump's history, are you sure that's a water mark?

He's provoked a big statement of support for Jerome Powell from other major central bankers, including Andrew Bailey and Christine Lagarde.

But to be fair to him, he's got Liz Truss in his corner.

Ha ha ha. I really hope this is true.

Trump may have to disclose details about assets as part of BBC lawsuit
US president is suing for defamation over documentary that joined two parts of speech he made on 6 January 2021

President Trump is expected to come under pressure to make rare disclosures about his properties and business interests as part of his $10bn lawsuit against the BBC, the Guardian understands.
He'll probably just make shit up, or leave it out.

This is what the BBC plans to do.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c394x4z8kpdo

The corporation will also argue that Panorama programme was not aired in the US and did not defame the US president.

It will also assert that the president has not demonstrated that the documentary caused any actual damage to him, noting that he was re-elected after the programme aired and carried Florida with a commanding majority.

Trump claims that the documentary aired on Britbox, which the BBC said is not correct.

The BBC will add that Trump cannot plausibly allege that the documentary was published with "actual malice".

It points out that the clip is some 15 seconds of an hour-long programme containing extensive coverage of his supporters and balanced coverage of his path to re-election.

During Trump's speech on 6 January 2021, before a riot at the US Capitol, he told a crowd: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women."

More than 50 minutes later in the speech, (my emphasis) he said: "And we fight. We fight like hell."

In the Panorama programme, a clip showed him as saying: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol... and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell."

Lawyers seem to agree the claim is bollocks.

And in political terms, it's to say the least jarring to claim all this money when Republicans are the biggest champions of restricting non-economic damages. There's no way that he lost $10bn dollars.

Its hard to see Trump's claims even meeting the English criterea for libel which is far easier than the US.
American networks fold as Trump can make life tricky for them but what's Trump going to do to move in on the BBC, watch nature docs on PBS and call David Attenborough childish names on X?
