Not that stupid mugshot again. How about the Trump-Epstein buddy pic? Atop the scrolled motto: " ... and may every day be another wonderful secret." Classy.

This is sick, monarchist stuff.
There is no excuse for it. That it's even being considered is a sign of what danger we're all in.

Christ, they already don't have room for $2 bills in the cash drawer.

A government full of incompetents, rage-baiters, and malevolence. RIP, America.

Scott Bessent is lousy at his job and is an embarrassment to Gay Americans...

How will this happen? I thought it was illegal to have a living person on money?

Congress has to change the law.
So figure the odds of Congress being able to change this law just for Trumpy.

I'd bet $250 Congress won't be able to change the law. Not this year anyway.
The issuance of this currency requires an amendment to the Federal Reserve Act, as outlined in the H.R. 1761 bill proposed in February 2025. This amendment would authorize the new denomination and exempt the long-standing legal restriction against depicting living individuals on U.S. currency. The bill is currently stuck in the House Financial Services Committee, with no significant progress in the House or Senate. As a result, the likelihood of completing the legislation and issuing the bill within the year remains low.
That doesn't mean Trumpy won't waste a lot of taxpayer money trying.

Or Trump could Die...
Sounds like a Good tradeoff.
Trump Dies and we get another Useless Banknote.
With his Face on it.
No Need to change the Law.

Dyin's too good for him. I like the idea of some major stroke that leaves him a drooling, aphasic hemiplegic requiring the assistance of a couple of large, dark immigrant women with his toilet and bathing. But, that's just me.

No. No it's not just you.
That same discussion happened in my house.
But we decided that he if wanted to die in order to be on a $250 bill that it was ok with us. $250 bills are not being designed for me to use anyway. Just another stupid waste of taxpayer money to appease Trumpy's ego.
Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it It's time we had some leave We've been living in the flames We've been eating up our brains Oh please, don't let these shakes go on.

Time's running out. Gotta get this done before the war with Iran is over.

In that case, time is not running out.
