'What's wrong with it?': Bessent backs Trump's face on $250 bill, torches 'terrible' WaPo report

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed that the Treasury Department has already prepared a design for a proposed $250 bill featuring President Donald Trump, should Congress approve legislation authorising the new denomination. Speaking at the White House, Bessent said the final decision rests with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, but stressed that the Treasury has to be prepared if the proposal moves forward. He also pushed back against criticism of the idea, arguing there is nothing inappropriate about Trump’s image being associated with celebrations surrounding America’s 250th anniversary.
