'You want me to put that face on the twenty-dollar bill?': Omarosa claims Trump slammed the idea of replacing Andrew Jackson's face with Harriet Tubman's


Former White House adviser Omarosa Manigault Newman claims in her new book that President Donald Trump balked at the idea of putting abolitionist Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill.

In "Unhinged," Manigault Newman describes the deliberation over a new figure on the twenty-dollar bill. She wrote that Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin told her, "it's not something I'm focused on at the moment."

Manigault Newman wrote that she then pushed the decision to Trump, who reportedly replied, "You want me to put that face on the twenty-dollar bill?"

Manigault Newman wrote she was offended by Trump's reaction to "the woman who personally brought more than three hundred slaves to freedom, risking her own life every time."

Go, Omarosa, go!

Cons acussing US of hypocrisy is a small price to pay if the mass media now focus on corruption, not coincidentally the main plank the Party mid-terms.

See where I and Pelosi are going with this?

one step ahead let alone 12.

He knows nothing, absolutely nothing, about anything and everything ESPECIALLY business.

He will do what putin tells him to do and the rest of the time he will react the way a spoiled 9 yr old reacts.

He sees this feud, over a tape that will never come out, with a person who doesn’t care about her own race, as another episode in his tv show.

by this expose', I will never trust her integrity or whether she has any righteous principle concerning white racists. Why? Because she KNOWINGLY worked for one so as to get into the 'big house' and is only pissed because she got thrown out of it and back into the fields, on her GD ear. There is only one way she would be invited to my barbecue and she knows what that entails.
