  while trump, 2016 the republican presidential nominee, did speak out against the decision to update the u.s. $20 bill, suggesting that tubman get placed on the $2 bill instead, he didn’t declare that the famous abolitionist’s likeness should be placed on ebt cards:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  “i think harriet tubman is fantastic,” trump said in an interview on nbc’s today show. “i would love to — i would love to leave andrew jackson [on the $20 bill] and see if we can maybe come up with another denomination. maybe we do the $2 bill or we do another bill.”
