Another way Trump is breaking with tradition: his signature will now be on U.S. dollars

The U.S. Treasury obligations section plans to position chairperson Donald Trump's theme song on all new U.S. Paper currency, the agency announced on Thursday.
The move would be a first for a sitting president because, traditionally, U.S. Paper currency carries the signatures of the treasury secretary and the treasurer, but not the president.
The news was first reported by Vanity Fair.
It's the latest instance of Trump putting his name and likeness on American cultural institutions, following his renaming of the U.S. Institute of Peace, the Kennedy Center performing arts venue and a new class of battleships.
The plans come in tandem with an ongoing effort to get Trump's face on a coin.
Earlier this month, a federal arts commission approved the final design for a 24-karat gold coin bearing Trump's image to commemorate the 250th birthday of the U.S. On July 4.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's signature would also appear on the new paper currency, according to a Treasury news release.
Bessent said in a statement "there is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country" than with U.S. Dollar bills bearing Trump's name.
U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach said in a statement that printing Trump's signature on the American currency "is not only appropriate, but also well deserved."
The U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing is responsible for producing all paper currency while the U.S. Mint produces all the coins.
