The proposal seeks to commemorate the president’s economic policies through the introduction of a new currency denomination.
US Republican Congressman Joe Wilson has revealed plans to introduce a bill that would create a $250 bill featuring the image of President Donald Trump. This initiative is part of a wider movement by certain Republican lawmakers to recognize Trump for his economic policies. Wilson shared a digitally altered image of the proposed bill on social media on Wednesday.
“Grateful to announce that I am drafting legislation to direct the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring Donald J. Trump,” the congressman stated in a post on X.
The congressman mentioned economic difficulties as a driving force behind the proposal, noting that inflation has increased the demand for higher-denomination currency. “Bidenflation has destroyed the economy forcing American families to carry more cash. Most valuable bill for most valuable President!” he added.
Current US law prevents the depiction of living individuals on currency, which would require legal changes for this proposal to move forward.
In a similar effort to honor the president, Representative Anna Paulina Luna of Florida recently introduced a measure to carve Trump’s likeness into Mount Rushmore. This proposal calls for the secretary of the interior to facilitate the addition of Trump’s face to the national monument, which currently features George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.
Other Republican members of Congress have proposed various other forms of tribute, including designating a public holiday on Trump’s birthday and allowing him to pursue a third presidential term.
The Treasury Department, which oversees currency design, typically selects historical figures whose contributions are broadly acknowledged for depiction. Enacting Wilson’s proposal would necessitate legislative changes and a shift from established norms regarding US currency design.
