Trump Administration Considers Bailing On Harriet Tubman $20 Bill
If this Kraft macaroni-and-cheese muthaf**ka thinks he’s gonna disparage and denigrate the first African-American President of the United States AND pull the rug from under Harriet Tubman’s $20, he’s got us COMPLETELY f**ked up.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS COMING FOR HARRIET YALL!!! https://t.co/PPJwcDbVlG

Secretary of Treasury Steve Mnuchin was asked by a CNBC reporter about the historic dollar bill and here’s what he said:
“The No 1 issue why we change the currency is to stop counterfeiting. So the issues of what we change will be primarily related to what we need to do for security purposes. I’ve received classified briefings on that. And, that’s what I’m focused on for the moment.”
Mnuchin then sounded as is if Harriet Tubman didn’t really deserve to be on the bill in the first place:
“People have been on the bills for a long period of time. And this is something we will consider. Right now, we’ve got a lot more important issues to focus on,”
Steve Liesman: Do you support Harriet Tubman on $20 bill?
Steve Mnuchin: "It's not something I'm focused on."

We’ll tell you what Steve NEEDS to focus on, this 140-character dragging he’s about to get for the rest of the day!
Flip it over a few times to warm your hands on Stevie’s roasting carcass.
