TREASURY SECRETARY
"There is proposed legislation... to change the first requirement so that a living person, Donald J. Trump, could be on the $250 bill."
"We have prepared in advance that if the legislation is passed." — — Treasury Secretary, White House briefing
The Treasury Secretary said the quiet part at the podium: a law to put the living president on the $250 bill, and designs 'prepared in advance.' It played as a briefing-room joke. It was an institutional milestone, on the record.
