Trump $250 Bill Proposal Sparks Laughter in China
A U.S. congressman, Joe Wilson, proposed introducing a $250 banknote featuring Donald Trump, claiming it would help Americans carry more cash amid inflation. However, Chinese netizens found the idea unintentionally humorous, as "250" (èr bǎi wǔ) is slang in China for a foolish and stubborn person. The term originates from historical incidents and ancient currency traditions.
Wilson’s proposal received mixed reactions in the U.S., but it went viral in China, garnering over 14 million views. Some found the number choice ironic, especially since 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. Chinese social media users joked that had Wilson known the cultural meaning, he would have chosen a different number. Others expressed amusement at Trump being linked to the slang term.
While Wilson remains committed to his proposal, the U.S. Treasury ultimately decides whose face appears on banknotes, and current laws prohibit living individuals from being featured. As of now, Trump has not commented on the idea.
