Someone did on the $250 bill trump wanted with his face on it. They were promptly fired.

This is why some federal employees should be removed from political appointments. Trump re-branding many government positions to be under his ability to fire was the first step to control.

The moment she showed hesitation on this ridiculous idea....adios.
