"Bidenflation has destroyed the economy, forcing American families to carry more cash," Wilson wrote on X. "Most valuable bill for most valuable President!"

Public reaction and legal challenges

The proposal has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some users praising the idea and others questioning its practicality.

Critics have pointed out that current laws prevent a living person from appearing on U.S. currency. Despite this, Wilson's proposal aims to honour Trump for his financial policies and draw a contrast to the previous administration.

If approved, Trump would become the first living former or sitting president to be featured on American currency.

U.S. Representative Joe Wilson post on X below:

“Grateful to announce that I am drafting legislation to direct the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring Donald J. Trump. Bidenflation has destroyed the economy forcing American families to carry more cash. Most valuable bill for most valuable President!”
