Putting Trump's signature on U.S. currency breaks 165 years of unbroken tradition — every president featured on a bill got there long after death, not while sitting in the Oval Office. This isn't honoring America; it's self-promotion dressed up as patriotism. A norm that survived every president since Lincoln just got tossed aside for one man's ego.
Trump's signature featuring on U.S. currency is a fitting tribute to a president whose economic leadership has defined a golden age for America. With the nation's 250th anniversary approaching, there's no more powerful way to mark that milestone than dollar bills bearing the name of the man who made it happen. This is history, and it's well deserved.
There's a 40% chance that the USD will be the dominant global reserve currency in 2050, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
