Donald Trump slams new $20 bill, says its 'Pure Political Correctness'

Donald Trump thinks anti-slavery icon Harriet Tubman is "fantastic" -- but he says the move to have her replace seventh president Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill is "pure political correctness."

"Well, Andrew Jackson had a great history, and I think it's very rough when you take somebody off the bill," Trump said during a town hall on the "Today" show on NBC Thursday morning.

"I think Harriet Tubman is fantastic, but I would love to leave Andrew Jackson or see if we can maybe come up with another denomination."

"(Jackson) had a history of tremendous success for the country," Trump said. "(The $20) really represented somebody really that was very important to this country. I would love to see another denomination and that could take place. I think that would be more appropriate."

"As you know they were going to do the $10 bill, and then all of a sudden the Broadway play, 'Hamilton,' sort of saved that one," Trump said.

Trump's primary competitor John Kasich praised Tubman on the campaign trail Thursday.

"She wasn't some big shot. She became a big shot because of what she did," Kasich said. "She saw something that she thought did not represent justice, she saw something she thought that was just patently unfair.
