Stephen Colbert is making a joke at Donald Trump’s expense. He’s referring to the fact that some of the greatest U.S. presidents, such as Washington, Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, have had their portraits featured on American currency like dollar bills and coins.
However, Colbert suggests that given the allegations of hush money payments made during Trump’s presidency to cover up affairs, it would be more fitting for Trump’s image to end up on that kind of “currency” – a humorous way of saying the only place Trump deserves to be featured is on bills related to secret payoffs rather than legitimate banknotes.
The best interpretation is that Colbert is comically implying Trump is not deserving of true presidential honors due to the scandals surrounding him.
