(CNN) President Donald Trump wants NASA to go to Mars, but his Treasury secretary can't figure out how to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill? BrownWe recently learned that the planned Harriet Tubman currency — which was slated to replace the $20 Andrew Jackson bill in time for the 2020 centennial of the 19th Amendment — can't be rolled out until 2028. There are technical difficulties and they will persist until long after President Trump leaves office, he tells us. We'll pause here to note that the plan for the Tubman bill originated with Trump's predecessor, the first black President of the United States. In 2016, candidate Trump told NBC that stripping his favorite president, the populist and slave owner, Andrew Jackson, from the $20 bill was " pure political correctness ."
