Trump signature to appear on US bills in first for sitting president

The move marks the first time a sitting US president's signature will appear on legal tender. To accommodate this change, the treasurer's signature will be removed for the first time since 1861… 

Treasury secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement: "Under President Trump's leadership, we are on a path toward unprecedented economic growth, lasting dollar dominance, and fiscal strength and stability. There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J Trump than US dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial."

Alt-Right Leader Promises a Future Europe with Hitler on Its Currency | Alternet

Although many members of the alt-right claim to not be racists or white supremacists, videos recorded by an infiltrator among their ranks proves otherwise. Patrik Hermansson, a 25-year-old Swede, went undercover to infiltrate the alt-right, creating a fake identity that led him to meetings with some of the group’s leaders.

As video Hermansson provided to the New York Times shows, he got one of the group’s highest-ranking members — Alt-Right Corporation board member Jason Reza Jorjani — to admit his “final solution” for minorities.....
