WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump could soon appear on a new $250 bill in the Republican's latest move to shatter U.S. traditions by putting his personal stamp on national institutions.

A proposal for the new bill, featuring a glaring Trump, was reported Thursday by the Washington Post.

If carried out, it would be the first time the image of a living person -- let alone a president -- had appeared on U.S. currency in a century and a half.

The design mock-up obtained by the Washington Post also shows the words "America 250 anniversary," a nod to the United States declaring its independence on July 4, 1776.
