TRUMP weighs in, ready to save the day:

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said Thursday that abolitionist Harriet Tubman is "fantastic" but she shouldn't replace former President Andrew Jackson on the front of the $20 bill.
He cited "pure political correctness" for the Treasury Department's decision to feature the African-American abolitionist — who was born into slavery and led the Underground Railroad — instead of the nation's seventh president, a slave owner.
Speaking on NBC's "Today" show, Trump said Tubman's likeness should go on a different denomination.
"Well Andrew Jackson had a great history and I think it's very rough when you take somebody off the bill," Trump said. "Andrew Jackson had a history of tremendous success for the country."
He suggested that "maybe we do the $2 bill" or something else for Tubman.

A black woman on the View seriously objected to the Tubman $2 bill due to rap lyrics that rap about cheap two dollah hoes that make you holla...
She tried to do some BLM mental gymnastics but hard to call Rap Music racist.

When I think of money, I think of presidents. Putting Tubman on the $20 bill seems forced. I don't see the logic behind this, but this is America so I guess thats too much too ask.

Pretty ironic that Andrew is on the $20 when the dude was a hater of all things banker. Wonder if he'd even want to be on the currency nowadays knowing they only come into existence via the "federal" reserve?
Yeah, I've very surprised he's on the bill in the first place. He is basically everything that modern America is not:Of course, if you read revisionists (and most online sources are), you won't see very much of that list, or they'll try to spin it as negative. This is why if you ask most Americans who Andrew Jackson was, they'll say, "He's that anti-Indian guy" because that's all they've been taught (if they know at all).
- Born in poverty and overcame it. Didn't complain or march on Wall Street and demand equality; he was a business man and failed many times, but found a way to succeed.
- Played a pivotal role in the War of 1812 (have some fun by asking Americans what this was - most have no idea that this war was ever fought or what it even was).
- Overthrew the central bank and proved that central banking wasn't necessary.
- Survived numerous assassination attempts, mostly from people (ie: bankers) who were threatened by his democratic approach to life in America.
- The only U.S. President to ever pay off the national debt. That's right, paid off all our debt. We had $0 in debt. No President has even come close.
- Was a business man, attorney, fighter. The man was all things masculine.
- Absolutely HATED by the left, which is why they love to talk about a person's flaws in general because we all know they've never done something wrong and history will be kind to them.
