Also it would be very funny, also he's a great American who loves America and the American people (as opposed to a lot of people who love what they imagine building after they dismantle America for parts), also @daisukitoo's other reply:

This would make Donald Trump's face the symbol of unethical, clandestine financial transactions.

He's really not, though, and he really doesn't.

...I don't mean this in a "check out my counterintuitive lefty definition of patriotism" way. I mean that he openly despises large sectors of the country, including traditional touchstones of American patriotic identity, in a way that has no parallel in any other US politician of comparable stature. He's the guy who flubs and flouts military ritual observances, and basically insulted John McCain to his face for his veteran status. He's the guy who makes a point of tearing down the architecture of Washington, DC. He's the guy who doesn't even bother pretending that he values Every Citizen, as opposed to valuing Those Citizens Who Support Him.

And you can say that all of this is symbolic frou-frou, which is true, and that symbols can sometimes get detached from the things they're supposed to symbolize, which is also true.

But - it's all of a piece with everything we've already known about Donald Trump forever. From way before 2016! He values money and celebrity and success and nothing else! He spits on everyone that he considers a loser, which definitely includes most Americans! He is cosmopolitan enough to think of those foreigners who swim in his circles as His People - enough to marry one! He would absolutely have been a part of hoity-toity New York sophisticate culture, if the sophisticates would have had him!

Anyhow, Donald Trump should be on the $250 bill if and only if he dies while in office, either by natural causes or by unnatural ones. In that case, putting his 1980s businessman split-term populist face on the bill is fitting, including because doing cash transactions in $250 bills is kinda shady. If Donald Trump survives his second term, then he should not be put on any U.S. currency, except for a limited-release commemorative Trump coin used for fundraising by the Federal government. This coin should be legal currency brought back periodically for sale to fans, but only if sales are profitable.
