Haven’t heard from cpt keshel long time. Smart and informed. BFL
in the 2020 debates he said “I caught them. I caught them all.” Many people wondered what he was talking about. I think we’re starting to find out now.

My 14 year old grandson made the same connection between Trump and Jackson a few weeks ago. Kid’s a genius!
I always like parallel’s.
It doesn’t take much to see that DJT used the last 4 years very well. He put together a team prepared to relentless neutering of the bureaucracy.
The assassination attempt put him in warp drive.
Jackson is one of my favorite presidents. The man wasn’t perfect, but he was quite a guy. One of his best acts was breaking the Second Bank of the United States. I hope Trump breaks the Federal Reserve. We made a mistake in 1913 and it needs to be rectified.
AND what did Jackson do?
He killed the central bank.
At least he had a gold standard to somewhat restrain massive government debt and spending. We don’t even have that. So OF COURSE woke activist politicians and their cronies are going to take control of the massive rivers of money flowing through DC.
Trump 2.0 is the kind of bulldozer we need to push away the trash.

"Jackson biographer Jon Meacham writes: "Jackson believed the country was being controlled by a kind of congressional-financial-bureaucratic complex in which the needs and concerns of the unconnected were secondary to those who were on the inside." This is comparable to Trump's view that a "deep state" of elitist sympathizers is embedded in the federal bureaucracy and is eager to destroy his presidency and thwart his agenda. He has pledged to root them out, just as Jackson confronted his own adversaries."
A "invisible government" behind the scenes, directing government policy to enrich themselves?
What an interesting idea!
Been comparing Trump to Jackson for about 8 years now. I also compare him to Teddy Roosevelt, because there are a lot of similarities there as well.
The central bank needs to be destroyed.
I often think in Romans 8:28 fashion that it’s good for America that Trump’s 2020 victory was stolen from him and that he was legally beaten up and they’ve literally tried to kill him.

There is no doubt that this 45 / 47 scenario for PDJT has been really great on many levels. There is no way in JAN 2021 you could have convinced me of this. A remarkable turn of events.
And then was handed 4 years to think about it.
I swear, ‘losing’ in 2020 could well have been the greatest blessing we never realized.
For the math inclined Jackson is the natural logarithm president. 2 Terms. Seventh President, elected in 1828. 2.71828.
Jackson is also the only time in American history that the Federal Debt was zero.
