Dismisses Harriet Tubman on $20 bill as "pure political correctness"

Trump criticized the Treasury Department's decision to replace Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, calling it "pure political correctness." He suggested instead that Tubman be put on the rarely used $2 bill or another denomination, defending Jackson's legacy despite his history of genocide against Native Americans. The comments appealed to those resistant to symbolic changes acknowledging the contributions of women and minorities.
