Bessent on Trump's face appearing on a $250 bill: "I think it's fitting. President Trump is the president during our 250th anniversary. Calvin Coolidge was president during the 150th anniversary and there was a coin printed for him. I think it's a great celebratory note for a great president."

asked: How can you tell?

At this time, when so many are comparing Donald Trump to the great Calvin Coolidge, it is a good story to remember about mourning in America.
