For the first time, living people will be eligible to be honored on U.S. postage stamps.
The U.S. Postal Service announced Monday that it is ending its longstanding rule that people cannot be featured on stamps while they're still living. It's inviting suggestions from the public on who should get the first stamp...

The financially struggling Postal Service is hoping the change will boost stamp collecting — and bring in more money, because collected stamps aren't used for postage.
The Postal Service said it will consider stamps for acclaimed living American musicians, sports stars, writers, artists and other nationally known figures.

As you can see by the date, this isn't a new thing...all that threatening to privatize the PO has been going on for a while.

Well, bugger that for a lark.  It seems I've been misinformed.  Thank you for the correction.

Cool 
I'm not sure of the words 'living people will be eligible to be honored'.  Seems a stretch putting Trump in that category.
