Washington â€“ Steve Mnuchin, secretary of the treasury, floated the idea of splitting the U.S. Dollar similar to how corporations on Wall Street split their stock.Â According to government â€œofficialsâ€ doing a Â split would increase everyoneâ€™s wealth by twice as much.

â€œIf we did a one-for-two split of the U.S. Dollar everyone in America would be twice as wealthy,â€ Steve Mnuchin stated at a benefit dinner.

A stock split is market lingo where a company takes one of your shares and magically creates two shares.Â For an example, if the U.S. Dollar did a one-for-two split, every dollar you owned would magically become two dollars with the power high finance.

â€œHell, we could even do a 1-for-100 split and everyone would be 100 times wealthier,â€ Steven Mnuchin said grinning at the greenbacks in his leather wallet.

Steve Mnuchin isnâ€™t the only one pushing this new concept of splitting the dollar.Â The Emperor himself was on board the minute he realized how much more money everyone could have.

â€œDoing a 1-for-10,000 split of the almighty U.S. Dollar would be HUGE,â€ Donald Trump tweeted this morning. â€œEveryone in America would instantly become wealthier with the push of a button.â€

Jerome Powell was said to be skeptical of splitting the U.S. Dollar. Â Powell apparently doesnâ€™t understand economics and how money works. Â

â€œThe Federal Reserve is led by weak pale hands,â€ Donald Trump was told to have said privately to Mnuchin. â€œAll of the European bankers are splitting their currency. It is time we hop on the bandwagon and go with consensus.â€

The price of gold has skyrocketed on this news by $420.69/ounce.Â Dealers are said to be sold out across the country.
