On Sunday, President Donald Trump talked about his first one hundred days in office with Salena Zito, a writer for the Washington Examiner. Commenting on his recent visit to Tennessee, Trump had this to say about one of his predecessors in the White House:

I mean, had Andrew Jackson been a little later, you wouldn’t have had the Civil War. He was a very tough person, but he had a big heart. He was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War. He said, ‘There’s no reason for this.’ People don’t realize, you know, the Civil War -- if you think about it, why? People don’t ask that question, but why was there a Civil War? Why could that one not have been worked out?

A few days ago I posted my take on one of many media articles ridiculing Trump for his view that Andrew Jackson could have possibly prevented the Civil War.

The title of the article called Trumps observation a "Bizarre, Baffling Claim"

This is the first media article I have seen that agrees with me.
