Trump's idea about where Harriet Tubman should go.

Just seen on MSNBC in an interview with Matt Lauer, Trump says he would not change the $20 or add Harriet Tubman to any existing money. Instead he would include her on a new denomination, the $2 bill. In one fell swoop Trump manages in insult both women and blacks.

should be on a new $78 bill (aka a "woman's $100)

or a $12 bill (which is three-fifths of a twenty).

I hope Matt Lauer had his Western Union cap handy, in case Trump wanted to send another message to Hillary Clinton.

If they could figure out how to humiliate women by making a bill worth only 77cents, they would put happily a Tubman's face on it.
