The Treasury building before the inauguration. In June 2016, it was announced that Harriet Tubman's portrait would replace that of Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. Jackson as a president believed in executive power to the extreme, ignoring the Supreme Court (selling out his former Indian allies) and Congress (destroying the Second Bank of the United States), and promoting the spoils system and slavery. He paid off the national debt by vetoing government programs and selling off federal land. An effective but embarrassing president, replacing him his opposite Harriet Tubman seemed appropriate. But of course that movement stopped with the inauguration since Donnie loved Jackson for most of the things that make him an embarrassment. Sigh. |
