Compared with his 1st term, … #Trump has emphasized the importance of #loyalty this time around. Admin ofcls have complimented him far more in #cabinet meetings than in his 1st term…

George Washington would have hated Trump being on a $250 bill

George Washington actively opposed the U.S. Mint putting his face on coinage, as it would've resembled the reverence reserved for monarchs.

While no #law prohibits printing bills with Trump’s signature, #US #currency experts say that producing a $250 note featuring the president‘s image would run afoul of current laws. One states only a “deceased individual” may be depicted on US currency. Another specifies which denominations the bureau may produce.

Larry R. Felix, a former director of the bureau, said “a $250 note is not statutorily authorized” without an act of #Congress.

Solimene & her staff had consented to another #Trump administration request: to print $100 bills featuring Trump’s signature, according to the four employees. They said those bills — the FIRST in American #history to bear a sitting president’s signature — are currently being printed at the bureau’s downtown Washington facility.

She added that she “never sacrificed the values or character of myself or the organization & always prioritized the #US #Currency Program & the value each employee brings to the mission.”

“The buck stopped here,” she wrote.

Solimene did not specify in the email why she was reassigned & did not return calls seeking comment. A 24-year Army #veteran, she had been the first #female director of the bureau.

Solimene said she was abruptly “reassigned” from her post by Treasury management on April 27, writing the next day in an email to colleagues that she was leaving with a “heavy heart.” She wrote in her goodbye email, a copy of which was obtained by The Post, that she had been reassigned to another job in the Treasury Department & that her departure was “not my choice.”

The two political appointees were dismissive in response, two of the current employees said.

“She had told them we’re not authorized to do this. We can’t progress any further, and all the stakeholders have not even met to discuss the next steps,” said one of the employees. “Currency often takes six to eight years to produce a new bill, particularly one of such high value.”
