One of President Donald Trump's foes, New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, poked fun at the president, who was seen falling asleep in the Oval Office this week — using the moment to suggest a potential design for his $250 bill with his face on it.
Hochul's press office shared an image on X of Trump with his eyes closed on a mockup, following reports that Trump supporters have been pushing to put his face on a banknote ahead of the nation's 250th birthday.
Trump told reporters on Thursday that he was "honored by it."
People had a hilarious response to the sketch online.
"The President wants to put his face on the $250 bill. That requires a vote of Congress. I would vote YES to authorize the below design," Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) wrote on X.
"I paid for my ticket to Weekend at Bernie's with this bill," longtime boxing publicist Fred Sternburg, who has more than 10,000 followers, wrote on X.
"Most large bills like that are used by con artists, drug dealers, tax evaders or money smugglers. So go forth with his face on it," Ezra Mannix Communications & Outreach Manager for the Middle East Institute, wrote on X.
"Put him behind bars and people will be lining up for that little token of American history," user Cherylkartist, a frequent progressive commentator who has more than 10,000 followers, wrote on X.
