The Hidden Price: How a Weaker Dollar Is Raising Everyday Costs

A roughly 10% drop in the U.S. dollar since Trump’s return is nudging up import costs and some consumer prices, even as big-name multinationals report favorable currency tails. Domestic firms with little overseas exposure face higher input costs, while Americans pay more for foreign goods and travel; economists warn the dollar’s decline could lift commodity prices and keep inflation on a uncertain footing as the currency fluctuates.

Jack White Roasts Trump Over Signature On U.S. Bills

Jack White criticized Donald Trump after reports that the president will have his signature on new U.S. currency, calling him a manipulative, egomaniacal conman in an Instagram post and joking about his “small hands” signing the bills. The piece notes Trump would be the first sitting president to have autographs on U.S. money, with The New York Times saying his signature will appear alongside Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the treasurer’s name will be removed. White also references Vanity Fair’s jab about Trump’s hands and suggests a tongue-in-cheek idea to deface currency, while warning about legality.

Trump's Signature on U.S. Currency Marks a Historic First for a Sitting President

The Treasury will place Donald Trump's signature on U.S. currency to mark the 250th Independence Day, a first for a sitting president; currently notes bear signatures of the Treasury secretary and treasurer. Officials say the move signals growth and fiscal strength, but critics likened it to autocratic branding and questioned living-presidents’ depictions on money, a policy change facilitated by a legal loophole and paired with a Trump-branded commemorative coin. Economically, 2025 GDP rose about 2.2%.
