Compare the speech to R Reagan's and you will see many things similar. Except, R Reagan could not be as aggressive since he had to deal with a hostile Congress.

I looked at Jackson's speeches and did not see the similarities.

"I looked at Jackson's speeches and did not see the similarities."

You're unlikely to find it in speeches. Governing style, personality, and policies is where it's at. IIRC, Jackson was the first president who actually dropped the national debt to ZERO.

I disagree with the poster upthread who called Trump the "first populist president". That title goes to Jackson, in spite of the fact that his Presidency ultimately led to the Democrat Party.
