Another day, another place for Donald Trump’s name to appear.
This time: U.S. paper currency.
On Thursday, the Treasury Department announced that bills printed from this summer will bear the president’s signature to mark America’s 250th anniversary.
It’s the first time a sitting president’s signature will be featured on U.S. cash.
The signature of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will also still be included.
In a statement, Bessent claimed “there is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S. dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial.”
Critics on social media, however, weren’t convinced.
Some branded the move “disgusting,” narcissistic and yet more “vainglory” from Trump.
“Signing the hyperinflation himself. Amazing,” wrote another, referencing the cost-of-living crisis that critics say has worsened in recent weeks amid Trump’s Iran war.
