It's America's 250th birthday on Saturday. But the main event is Donald Trump. He is and will be everywhere. You can bet your last $250 - he will be staring from the new bill, if it's released. And watching from limited-edition passports and 24-karat gold coins.
Fusing his personal brand with the nation's identity at this historic semiquincentennial? That's exactly the idea. Yes, there's a law prohibiting a living person from appearing on currency notes. But Republicans can always try to remove that irritant. Trump is already the first sitting president with his John Hancock on the dollar, dislodging the treasurer's signature. Tradition be damned.
