Sec. Bessent: ‘It’s All Up on Capitol Hill’ to Change the Requirements so That Pres. Trump’s Face Can Be on a $250 Bill

EXCERPT:

BESSENT: “Well, again, as Treasury secretary, I have two mandates for U.S. currency. At present, no living person can be on U.S. currency, and the currency must say, ‘In God we trust.’ So, right now, there’s proposed legislation in front of the House, in front of the Senate, to change the first requirement so that a living person, Donald J. Trump, could be on the $250 bill. So, it’s all in the hands of the — it’s all up on Capitol Hill. So, at Treasury, we prepare things in advance. So, we have prepared in advance that, if the legislation is passed, but we will stick to the law.”
