Trump Administration to Put President's Face and Signature on US Currency
What was said
"For the 250th, the president's signature is gonna be on it for the first time. That's right. To commemorate the democracy Republicans hold so dear, the leader of their party has decided to put his face and signature on our money."
A Treasury official announced that for the 250th anniversary of American independence, Donald Trump's signature and image will appear on US currency for the first time in modern history. This breaks with a longstanding 1866 law forbidding images of living people on American paper currency, which was enacted specifically to differentiate American democracy from monarchies like Britain that feature living rulers on their money. The host notes the irony of this monarchical practice being implemented while Republican leaders warn about threats to democracy.
