The Washington Post reported that two political appointees at the Treasury Department pushed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill with Trump's face on it.
The Post also noted that an 1866 law mandates that only deceased individuals may be depicted on U.S. currency.

As with other things, like wars and "emoluments", who will enforce the law against Trump the Magnificent?

Whoever decides to put Spankee into compliance.

Unless Trump the Magnificent throws them in prison for "treason" first.

I’m totally in favor of having his likeness on the $250, but only if he complies with the 1866 law in full.

That's what I had in mind when I posted this, but my subject line seems to have been a little too cryptic. I was tongue-in-cheek implying that the Treasury was planning his death, not planning for his death.
As a side note, it occurs to me that a very high percentage of his voters live paycheck to paycheck, and thus would likely never have the "honor" of sporting his $250 image in their wallet (without going into hock for it).
Something for his eventual tombstone: "Here lies the morally bankrupt, spreading financial bankruptcy even after death."

I appreciate the joke, but, no. Trump must never be memorialized - except, perhaps in infamy - on anything that might imply that he is a great president.

Something for his eventual tombstone: "Here lies the morally bankrupt, spreading financial bankruptcy even after death." My hope for his epitaph:
Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne’er within him burn’d,
As home his footsteps he hath turn’d,
From wandering on a foreign strand!
If such there breathe, go, mark him well;
For him no Minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonour’d, and unsung. https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/brea...(The bolded part was quoted in the movie Groundhog Day!)

I think a fitting memorial would be a gold-plated $250 cryptobill on the internet that has Trump extolling the triumphs of his term and next to it is a gold-plated Nobill Peace Prize and for the low price of $250 you can have access in perpetuity that you can pass down to your MAGA descendants. It tells the history of how he combated every lie the dumbocrats told about him and how he won everything and was the Greatest President ever.

imagine you’re the malignant tinpot leader of a nation in decline, hell-bent on clownfucking your tacky me-me-me aesthetic onto all of its hallowed institutions.
you’ve already desecrated the White House. you’ve built your Oval Bordello. you’ve paved over the Rose Garden and replaced it with the Epstein Parking Lot. you’ve bulldozed the East Wing so you can have some gaudy Epstein Dance Hall.
you’ve destroyed the South Lawn in order to throw some low-rent cage-fight. you’ve painted the Reflecting Pool some garishly inappropriate shade of blue. and you’ve put your accursed name all over every building in town.
after all that, what do you do for an encore? you put your stupid, beady-eyed pig-face on money, of course. duh.

did you know some of our founders wanted to put George Washington’s face on money from the git-go? when George caught wind of it, he was all ‘are you kidding me? fuck that shit and fuck it hard. we just fought a whole revolution against that kingly bullshit, remember?’ — and so Washington’s face didn’t appear on the dollar until 1869.Trump sure as hell ain't no Washington. Hell, he's not even an Andrew Johnson.
The only place his face deserves to be is here:
