This claim is **false**.
Here’s why:
1. **No $250 Denomination:** The United States Treasury does not issue a $250 denomination bill. The largest denomination in general circulation is the $100 bill. While higher denominations ($500, $1,000, etc.) once existed, they were discontinued decades ago and are not being printed.
2. **Federal Law Prohibits Images of Living People:** As the claim itself partially notes, federal law (specifically 18 U.S.C. § 474) prohibits portraits of living persons on U.S. currency. This is a long-standing tradition and legal requirement.
3. **No Legislative Action:** There is no legitimate legislative effort in Congress to create a $250 bill, to feature Donald Trump (or any living person) on U.S. currency, or to make an exception to the law for him. Such a move would be highly controversial, unprecedented, and would require significant legislative action, of which there is no evidence.
4. **Official Source:** The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) is responsible for designing and producing U.S. currency. There have been no announcements or plans from the BEP regarding a $250 bill or featuring a living person.
This rumor often circulates on social media and is a recurring piece of misinformation.
