'Pure political correctness': Donald Trump criticizes decision to put Harriet Tubman on $20 bill

The Business Insider reports:
Donald Trump said on Thursday that he's against Harriet Tubman replacing former President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, suggesting the US should find another denomination of paper currency to honor Tubman.

"Well, Andrew Jackson had a great history, and I think it's very rough when you take someone off the bill," the Republican frontrunner said during a town-hall event on NBC's "Today Show."

"Andrew Jackson had a history of tremendous success with the country," he added.
Andrew Jackson : the man that walked home from the Battle of New Orleans to Tennessee. Just a reminder: no American President has more towns named after them than Andrew Jackson.
