For Trump, Tubman on $20 Bill Illustrates Broader American Problem

His remarks illustrate the divide between the political approach of Trump and President Obama

Donald Trump's take on the decision to put Harriet Tubman on the front of the $20 bill as "pure political correctness" is symbolic of a style of politics he's displayed throughout this campaign: at times wary of changes to long-standing American customs and institutions and showing a willingness to take controversial stands on issues that affect women and minorities, NBC News reported.

"I think Harriet Tubman is fantastic," Trump said in an interview on NBC's Today Show on Thursday. "I would love to — I would love to leave Andrew Jackson and see if we can maybe come up with another denomination. Maybe we do the $2 bill or we do another bill."

His remarks illustrate the divide between the political approach of Trump and the man he could succeed, Barack Obama.
