U.S Lawmaker Proposes $250 Trump Bill To Honor His Economic Policies, But Law Prohibits Action

US Republican Congressman Joe Wilson has proposed creating a $250 bill featuring Donald Trump’s image to honor his economic policies. Wilson argues inflation has increased the need for higher-value currency. However, US law prohibits living individuals on money, requiring legal amendments. This follows other GOP efforts to honor Trump, including adding his face to Mount Rushmore and declaring a national holiday.
