A new Washington Post report claims that Donald Trump's team are pushing for his face to appear on a new $250 dollar bill to mark the USA's 250th anniversary, making him the first living person on US currency in over 150 years. Trump allies allegedly pressured staff at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and "abruptly reassigned" the director when she expressed concern of federal law, which states only the deceased can appear on US notes. Vedika Bahl goes through the story in Truth or Fake. #donaldtrump #UStreasury #washingtonpost 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get th
