Trump's Controversial New Proposal: Issue a $250 Commemorative Bill with His Portrait, Calling It a "Symbol of American Strength"

Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently made a new proposal to introduce a commemorative bill with a face value of $250, explicitly demanding that his portrait be printed on the bill, and boldly defining it as a "symbol of American strength." The announcement quickly sparked heated discussions in American society.

From the perspective of traditional U.S. currency issuance, whether it is circulating paper money or commemorative bills, the choice of portraits often focuses on deceased presidents like Washington and Lincoln, who have had a profound impact on American history. It is rare to feature living political figures, and the highest face value of regular circulating paper money is only $100, making the $250 face value proposal itself a break from convention. Many media outlets and the public interpret Trump's proposal as "a bundling marketing of personal image and political influence." Supporters believe this is a "demonstration of American confidence," while critics argue it "violates the seriousness of currency issuance and carries a strong individualistic tone."

Currently, this proposal has not entered any official advancement process, but discussions have erupted on social media platforms, with some joking that "this is bringing the 'personal brand' into the national currency system," and some financial professionals analyzing that if it were to be implemented, it would need to overcome multiple approval hurdles from the U.S. Treasury and Congress, raising doubts about its feasibility.
