Harriet Tubman, the sword-wielding, gun-toting spy and freedom fighter who led dozens of slaves to freedom in the north after escaping from slavery herself is set to become the first black woman to be featured on American currency—specifically, the $20 bill.
According to a new report from TIME, however, the impending inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump and the administrative changes that will come along with it have some within the Department of the Treasury concerned about the future of the new legal tender.

We should do what liberals did as soon as Obama was elected: Start naming schools after Trump, have school children sing songs about Trump, demand his birthday be a national holiday, and that his face be put on money.

Tubman was a good person, but some of the other proposed nobodies is ridiculous!

I disapprove of all personages on our coins, except for female or Indian depictions of Liberty, as we had before 1909.

I feel that way about bridges——name them after a location(Brooklyn Bridge) rather than a person who is probably unknown to most of the population.

Really? When was Alexander Hamilton President? How about Benjamin Franklin? Geez. You really need to try harder.

Hey, Trump could always nominate Hillary for the $3 bill, complete with the picture snapped when she learned in 2008 that a Chicago community organizer snatched the Democrat nomination from her

I’m waiting for the Transgender dollar bill, which can be either $5.00 or $20.00, depending on what it identifies as.

Re: Bridges
I think they should name them like they do sports stadium. Let businesses pay to have the bridge named after their company. Then let everyone use them for free.

Can you imagine heads exploding if Trump replaced Tubman with the late Phyllis Schlafly?

No, you are not well-educated. Clearly. And I’ll give you a hint. She was braver than you ever were or ever will be.

How about Lincoln? He wasn’t a founder.

Fusion is a hack organization.
Tweeted out some lame “11 year old Muslim Mexican-American” who calls Trump a racist and a meanie.
Fusion: pathetic.
To: Trump20162020
Tubman was about as relevant to the survival of the Republic as Walt Whitman or John Brown.
A serious waste of energy & resources.
To: WENDLE
That was feminist bullshit anyway. I have never heard of the woman. I am well educated and quite astute on the actual -history of America and she in non-existent to me. I really don’t want to know so don’t tell me. how well-educated can you be? are you not familiar with the history of John Brown the abolitionist and Harpers Ferry?
