GOP Bill Would Create $250 Currency Featuring Trump

The Hill reports:

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) says he is preparing legislation to feature President Trump on a new $250 bill.

“Grateful to announce that I am drafting legislation to direct the Bureau of Graving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring Donald J. Trump,” Wilson wrote in a Tuesday post on X with a mock-up of the proposed bill.
