The news as it trends.
From making an attempt to become the first king of the United States to having his own public holiday, a new proposal is now put forth by Republican Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina.
Wilson is drafting legislation to create a new $250 bill featuring US President Donald Trump’s likeness.
He announced this via a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Wilson stated that he wanted the bill to feature Trump because he believes it would be the “most valuable bill for the most valuable President.”
Wilson justified the creation of the new bill by citing “Bidenflation,” a term used by critics of former President Joe Biden to describe the rise in inflation during his administration.
Wilson claimed that the economy now forces Americans to carry more cash, and a $250 bill would be a practical solution.
It is worth noting that the process of putting a face on a U.S. bill involves several steps.
The Secretary of the Treasury selects the individuals featured on U.S. currency, typically those with significant historical importance.
The design must incorporate advanced security features and align with themes that represent the country’s core values.
Public and political support can also influence the decision.
Critics argue that Donald Trump has not met all the criteria to be considered a significant historical figure worthy of being featured on U.S. currency.
They point out that while Trump has had a notable impact on American politics and society, his presidency was marked by controversy, including two impeachments and numerous legal issues.
Critics believe that these factors, along with his divisive rhetoric and policies, make him an unsuitable candidate for such an honor.
