Keep Trump’s Face Off Your Money
Donald Trump’s Treasury Secretary just announced a disgusting scheme to exploit America’s 250th anniversary: putting Trump’s face on a new $250 bill.
Trump already treats the government like it belongs to him. Now his allies want to stamp his face on U.S. currency. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says his department has already created the design.
But current law bars living people from appearing on U.S. paper currency. Trump’s allies need Congress to change the law before they can turn our money into a shrine to one man’s ego. That means we still have time to stop them.
U.S. currency belongs to the American people, not to a president desperate to plaster his face across every public institution he can touch.
The timing makes it even worse. Families are struggling with rent, groceries, healthcare, and debt. But Trump’s Treasury Department is spending time preparing a vanity bill with Trump’s face on it.
America’s 250th anniversary should honor the people, not flatter one politician. Congress must not let Trump turn a national milestone into campaign merchandise.
Thanks for all that you do,
