The Trump administration has been exposed for pressuring the printing press to push $250 portrait paper currency Odaily Planet Daily News: According to the latest report from The Washington Post, several officials appointed by the Trump administration have put pressure on the US Treasury Printing House to develop a new $250 banknote with Trump's portrait and personal signature printed on the face. According to the long-standing monetary tradition and relevant regulations in the United States, US dollar banknotes are only allowed to print images of deceased individuals. Once the plan is implemented, Trump will become the first living person in over 150 years to have a portrait on the US dollar. Four current and former employees of the money printing bureau who are aware of the situation revealed that relevant officials had delivered paper currency design samples to the staff in August last year, forcing the project to proceed. Internal conflicts erupted, and a head of the printing bureau was recently transferred from his position for refusing to cooperate with the illegal instruction. In his farewell letter, he only left one sentence: 'The responsibility lies with me, and this incident also exposes the deep controversy over the forced intervention of administrative forces in the US monetary system.'.
