Another reason the Chinese are laughing at tRump--the $250 bill (Snopes verified)

In Mandarin, the number 250 is commonly used slang for an idiot, a dolt, a total fool. So his picture on a $250 bill is even more foolish than it looks!

According to Mandarin language schools and a report about the Trump administration's planned $250 bill by the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post, the Mandarin word for 250 could also be used to call someone silly, innocent, careless, foolish, stubborn, reckless, stupid or to suggest they were not, as an English idiom goes, the sharpest tool in the shed.

6. In the ways of warfare, he is "an innocent"

Hubby and I were just talking that, if he learned anything about tactics at his "military school" in the 1960's, they would have been outdated at least three times; after Vietnam, after Iran and Afghanistan and after the creation of drones....he and Hogsbreath act like they are fighting a WWII simulation game or something!

2. They should make a $249 bill instead

That way Trump will always be a dollar short
