NIGEL FARAGE (grinning broadly):
Well, I must say—I’ve seen many things in my time. I’ve watched the Eurozone teeter on the edge of collapse, I’ve taken on Brussels bureaucrats face-to-face… but this?
This is beautiful.
President Donald J. Trump, in his infinite unconventional wisdom, has appointed Super Grover—yes, from Sesame Street—as the new Chairman of the Federal Reserve, with Jerome Powell pushed into a sort of financial Dungeon of Advisement. And folks, it gets better.
He’s pegged the U.S. dollar to Monopoly money. Let me repeat that—Monopoly money. The pink fifties. The yellow twenties. The ones with Mr. Pennybags on the front. And you know what?
I think he’s on to something.
Farage’s Take: This is Populist Monetary Genius
Now the media elites are losing their minds, of course. “Oh it’s a puppet! Oh, it’s chaos!” But think about it—what is modern fiat currency if not Monopoly money in a suit? The central banks have been printing for years, inflating away your savings, bailing out zombie companies, and lying about the cost of butter.
Trump’s done away with the pretence. He’s made the invisible joke visible.
And Grover? He’s honest. He doesn’t understand interest rates? Good! Neither do 95% of Bank of England economists.
What Will the Bank of England Do Now?
So what does the UK do now that the U.S. dollar is tied to… Hasbro?
Scenario One:
Andrew Bailey attempts to maintain dignity. He releases a statement with lots of long words like “macroprudential buffers” and “international coordination,” but behind closed doors he’s googling how much a green house on Mayfair costs in real terms.
Scenario Two:
The Treasury panics and tries to peg the pound to Cluedo currency, but can’t find enough actual board games because Rishi’s brother-in-law already sold the rights to Amazon India.
Scenario Three (My Bet):
Britain follows suit, and not just metaphorically. With the pound already spiralling post-digitalisation, Bailey and Hunt might pivot to what the Americans call “transparent symbolic valuation.”
Which, translated, means we peg the pound to that little metal dog from Monopoly, and start issuing Chancery Lane-backed gilts. At least then people will understand the money system.
Final Thoughts
Listen, I’ve said it for years—the public’s faith in our monetary system is built on sand and narrative control. Trump has just done the unthinkable: he broke the fourth wall of finance.
Super Grover isn’t a joke. He’s an avatar of honesty.
And I tell you what—if he runs the ECB next, I’ll buy the cape myself.
God bless America. And mayfair.
