The callous racism and pettiness of extremely stable genius Donald "Not Exonerated" Trump manifests itself in many ways. It was reported that Trump is refusing to approve the substitution of racist Andrew "Trail of Tears" Jackson with abolitionist and freedom fighter Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. His Treasury Secretary Steve "Missing Vowel" Mnuchin confirmed in a House Financial Services Committee yesterday that it would have to wait until Trump was out of office. In 2016, Trump called the proposed placement of Tubman on the $20 bill "pure political correctness."
Tubman is an inspiration to all decent Americans. In a moment that's gone viral, this past week, little 3 year old Auriah "Lovie" Duncan walked up to a wall mural of Tubman in Cambridge, MD and touched Tubman's unpainted hand. Her sweet gesture stands in stark contrast to the petty and vindictive sociopath that is currently soiling the Oval Office, and who has a portrait of Jackson overlooking his desk.

A good muralist makes magic happen, turning something flat into something that looks three dimensional. It is a tricky business, and this one really works. I love the photo because the little girl believes what she sees and she trusts the giant woman reaching out to her.
Munchkin and Trump don't want the strength and courage possessed by Harriet Tubman to be seen and celebrated, ever. Why would they get rid of the image of their hero and replace it one of, gasp! a black woman! It's disgusting that they can stall and keep this important gesture from happening.
donnah -- The petty racism it takes to deny her this honor is par for the course for these villains.
