How can this be tolerated? Trump is a serial liar. We have no reason to believe what he or Hegseth say is true. Our next President might be even more insane than Trump.

Well waddaya know. I learned something from the Jimmy Kimmel show. If Chump stops the production of pennies, we'll have to make more nickels. It costs more to make nickels, so actually it will cost more money to eliminate pennies than to keep producing them.
