U.S. negotiators are heading into a second day of what have been dubbed "serious and substantial" talks with North Korean officials. Yet amidst all the discussion of how the U.S. will attempt to work with Kim Jon-un, there has been little (open) speculation as to whether Dear Leader Junior might crank up production of $100 and $50 bills.

Obviously, after being considered the face of the franchise for so many years, he’s plenty peeved and recently requested a trade. Making this ugly situation even more complicated, Daniels is demanding a hefty return.
