Upcoming Trump Postage Stamps revealed [View all]
CENTRALIA, PENNSYLVANIA (Spurious News Network) -- Presidents receive many honors in their lives and even after they pass on. One honor is to be depicted on a postage stamp after their deaths.
Even Donald Trump will be so honored.
"Centralia is in Pennsylvania coal country," said Julia Whitfield, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing artist who created a sheet of 25 stamps to honor the former president. "The coal seam it sits on has been on fire since 1962. I couldn't think of a more appropriate place to unveil stamps honoring a president whose administration was the biggest dumpster fire in history."
Interestingly, none of the stamps actually depict Mr. Trump. "I thought about making a stamp with him on it," said Ms. Whitfield. "The orange ink we'd have to print it with is the problem. Orange intaglio ink is hard to control, so we'd wind up with more of a blob than a picture of him. I decided to instead depict things that represent him."
Most of the stamps display pictures of prisons. "I've got the Colorado Supermax, the Georgia State Prison, Sing Sing in New York, the Fulton County Lockup, Leavenworth...just every prison he could have gone to. People who love prison dramas will love these."
There's also a picture of a Big Mac, one that's a pattern of dollar signs, and a still from a movie about them blowing up one of his Atlantic City casinos. "I even put a steak on one of them. I had to stay until two in the morning one night to complete that one and it's the fifteenth steak I tried to paint, because the other people in the office ate the first fourteen. I'm still pretty happy with it."
The stamps have a face value of one cent. When we told her that one-cent stamps are useless, she let out a loud laugh. "That's okay. So was he."
