“…federal law currently allows only deceased people to appear on bills.“
Why is this even a conversation???
Congress can’t agree on anything, much less pass a bill overturning a federal law. Trump will likely keep firing people until someone creates this nonsense in spite of the law.
I offer up my toilet seat for his image if trump wants to pony up some cash. He can even paint it gold for the right amount.
Having been to the US Mint in DC and hearing about all that goes into creating the plates to print the bills plus the necessary inks and papers needed for thwarting forgers, it’s likely to be a cold day in Hell to produce any sort of legal tender. Maybe they could slap together what would amount to Monopoly money just for der Führer to brag about to his buddies.
And how many people would actually use a $250 note? Here in Canada, we have $100 bills and a lot of businesses won’t accept them due to forgery levels.
Washington Post recap of 5,000+ current reader comments on the $250 bill story:
“Conversation summary:
The comments express strong disapproval and ridicule towards the idea of featuring Donald Trump's image on a $250 bill, with many highlighting his legal troubles and perceived vanity. Commenters criticize Trump's focus on self-aggrandizement rather than addressing national issues, and they express a desire for political change, often using humor and sarcasm to convey their disdain. There is a recurring theme of questioning the legality and appropriateness of placing a living person, especially one with Trump's controversies, on U.S. currency.”
In response to the always offended, I saw a T-shirt on someone in the airport yesterday that read “do you think you can hurt my feelings? I used to hold the flashlight for my dad”.
Don’t get me started on handing him the wrong tool. 😂
….And yet ANOTHER example of Orange A-Hole’s sycophantic Republican ENABLERS doing what they do best- supporting, condoning, defending and PUSHING his inane ‘decisions’ and behavior, as well as helping ‘eliminate’ his opponents- BESIDES him now wanting his face on money- (outlawed by Congress in 1866 for ANY living person, by Federal Statute). what’s it gonna be next— him wanting his buffoonish face and voice projected on One Times Square, in his beloved NYC, like ‘the great OZ behind the curtain’ whenever he feels like making some imbecilic, narcissistic but more than likely incoherent rant about something?! Startin’ to blame these idiot kiss-asses in the government for condoning and facilitating whatever he seems to wanna do, as much as I blame HIM for the current mess (AND all the lies) we’re in. (Thank God for whatever sane judges we have left, to push back whenever possible) How much more surreal can it POSSIBLY get- him suddenly being ‘ALLOWED’ a third term in a year& a half,(which was ALSO officially prohibited in 1951 by the 22nd Constitutional Amendment) God help us?! Has actually said would wanna try that.. Hope to Hell not, but am not even dismissing THAT possibility anymore, at this point, unfortunately.. Feels more and more like a slow-moving train wreck as time goes by. 😳😡

And then sell them for $1 million each.

He doesn’t care if it is used. He is only interested in another vanity project to manage all his insecurities.
