It’s quite untoward to have a pedophile’s visage on any of our currency.

I'd love to see some reporter ask Bessent what denomination will have Epstein's face on it.
Prince Andrew is on the back.
The PEDOllar bill
dumpy mcturdstain must be compensating HARD (teehee) if he needs to plaster his orange turdstain face on everything :/
Thayer Amendment - 1866:
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Can-a-Living-Person-Appear-on-US-Currency
"The Thayer Amendment: This 1866 law prohibited the use of the image of any living person on “the bonds, securities, notes, or postal currency of the United States.” It was an outgrowth of a silly act of vanity committed by Treasury Department official Spencer Clark, who decided to put himself on banknotes intended to honor explorer William Clark, of Lewis and Clark fame. The congressional bill authorizing the creation of the note only specified that it should honor “Clark,” and so Spencer Clark decided to memorialize himself."
I didn't know the history on that, that's hilarious that it was passed as a "fuck you, in particular!" for one guy!
silly act of vanity
That's basically everything in PEDOnald's two failed terms.
The thing with laws is that Congress can always change them by passing another law....
... but from what I've read, the current text of Joe Wilson's bill carves out an exception for "living and former Presidents". So, if this passes, we may get our Obama $420 bill someday....
It's so American that there's precedent for that.
The worst thing about Trump is that everything he does has already been done before; he just accumulates.
It’ll be the pedo bill.
Who carries $250 in cash?
Isn't a person supposed to be dead first before we put their face on currency? I think the people advocating for this must be wanting it to be true! And wouldn't that be considered a threat to our lovely dearest Sir, King Pedo?
I may be wrong but I think it's American law
I don't know why they keep using the idiotic looking down portrait of him for everything. He looks so insecure, like he's trying to be tough and failing.
Impressive. Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's bill.
“Strategery.”

Bessent looks like Jim Carrey playing a cartoonishly over-the-top villain.
Bessent always reminds me of that SNL character that Wil Ferrell played - Harry Caray.
Harry Caray was a real person. He was a baseball announcer for the Cubs. I never would have known except that we lived with my uncle for a year, and he watched the Cubs whenever they played.
$250 that's a weird denomination. How about the Epstein files?
Cool, but no thanks.
Can’t be on currency? Put yourself on a non-circulating “commemorative” bill “for collectors” and sell them. Problem solved. Anyone want to take bets that this is what will happen?
He did that years ago
I cannot help but wonder how the target demo for velvet paintings of Jesus and Elvis vs. that for bullshit commemorative coins sold that have "easy" installment payments vs. the demo that would snap up these (whether they are legal tender or what you propose may happen) would all stack up on a Venn diagram....

$250? Seems a weird denomination. Why not the $47 bill? I'd bet most Americans could scrape together $47 and frame it over their microwave oven. But $250? That's a lot of dough.
Does he know he doesn't get royalties? Or does he? Is there a bill in the works I haven't heard about?
They're just getting ahead of the curve on inflation. Don't worry, they'll have a $500 and $1000 ready soon enough. Those will be your new $5s and $10s by the time Donald is done with the US.
Oh, if you mean PEDOnald, he and his crime family are trying to set up themselves to be bankers to the world via their cryptoschemes and rake in untold sums as a consequence.
Royalties on a denomination no one but his idiotic mouthbreathing cult wants would be chump change in comparison...
I look at this guy and clearly see someone with a crazy submissive kink, something really degrading.
Is there something wrong with that?
There's only something wrong with it if you think there's something wrong with it. It's like being gay, but a homophobe. It's wrong to make other people suffer because you can't deal with your own issues, or to make others suffer but you still get to enjoy the lifestyle they want.
Why not put him on the $1000 bill… then the $10000… and then the $100000000 bill…heck we could be the next Zimbabwe dollar
Give it six months.
He looks like Stephen King's evil brother.
he looks like if george w bush was a mormon
For a second I thought you wrote moron, which confused me because I mean it's George Bush. But then I reread it.
My prediction: It'll become the most used bill for fraud, drugs and money laundering!
I've already seen anti-Pumkinhead things on currency, this bill is going to be the most defaced currency ever.
Also, Bessent is such a useless suck-up.
And certainly you can trust the word of a grossly unqualified sycophant.
I've already vowed not to accept any currency with his signature on it. Putting his mug shot on it will only make that easier.
Is that brown lipstick Bessent is wearing?
Bessent just looks so much like a bad parody of a guy you want to punch in the face.
He's not a parody, he just should be punched in the face.
