I have always felt that some of the neatest factoids and stories from The Bible are those describing historic events that are often talked about outside of churches and studies, especially those in which a large chunk of time elapsed between two points in fulfillment. Take the kingdoms prophesied to come by Daniel, or maybe the story of Alexander the Great’s Destruction of Tyre, which was prophesied in Ezekiel, as a couple prominent examples.
History remains an immaculate guide for the present and future and is a living, breathing study for us to draw from. In stunning fashion, yet another indirect fulfillment of a previously foreshadowed saga has come to pass with the reemergence of Donald Trump as President. Throughout President Trump’s first term, 2017-2021, he displayed a portrait of Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office. Immediately, the political grievance industry took exception to this, pointing out Jackson’s treatment of Native Americans, his slave ownership, and of course, the fact that he was a Democrat, as if these were the true reasons the portrait found prominence in the President’s office.
Years ago, Newt Gingrich expressed his belief that a unique connection between Jackson and Trump was forged in the way both campaigned against a corrupted political bureaucracy run by the self-important elites of their times. Trump made it clear he felt a bond with Jackson over his appeal to the forgotten men and women of America, and in doing so, created a new movement that overran the plans of the political creatures who brought the country to the brink of destruction. In short, both men were something new to the political scene and forever altered the presidency moving forward.
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.That is what we were led to believe as the explanation for Trump’s affinity for Jackson. Then, the crisis of 2020 emerged, and that year’s election was rigged before our eyes, with no stone left unturned as relates to the enormity of the public manipulation that took place. In 2023, I wrote a piece in these pages dubbed “2024 is the new 1828” – that piece outlined the stunning similarities developing between Jackson and Trump that we knew nothing of prior to the Corrupt Bargain of 2020, which used a fabricated health crisis as cover for forcing the Biden administration upon a nation that wanted to turn its collective on that coalition just four short years before.
For some background, Jackson, who in 1828 would become the first Democrat presidential nominee, first ran against John Quincy Adams, William Crawford, and Henry Clay for the open presidency in 1824. He won the most popular and electoral votes, but falling short of a majority of electoral votes, was shafted in a contingent election in the U.S. House thanks to an arrangement between Clay and Adams that gave the presidency to the latter. In turn, Clay became Adams’s Secretary of State. An excerpt from my 2023 piece:
Since no candidate achieved an electoral majority, the U.S. House took up the task of electing the next president in keeping with the 12th Amendment. Clay was dropped from consideration, leaving Adams, Jackson, and Crawford in the House’s contingent election, held on February 9, 1825. Each of the 24 states’ congressional delegations were given one vote each.I correctly predicted in 2024 that Trump would channel Jackson’s rage against the machine after what history now refers to as the Corrupt Bargain of 1824, even though many in polite Republican society were begging him to move on from 2020.Jackson, having won not only the popular vote, but the most electoral votes, expected the House to choose him as the winner and thereby confirm the choice of the electorate. However, the Kentuckian Clay, a shrewd political operator, or career politician, persuaded delegates of the three states he carried (Kentucky, Ohio, and Missouri) to throw their support behind Adams, while three delegations from Jackson-won states (Maryland, Illinois, and Louisiana) did the same.

Regarding the corrupt deal of 1824, I recall reading that John C. Calhoun was also involved in the bargaining of which states would support Adams instead of Jackson. Can anyone with a better knowledge of that historical period confirm that? Thanks in advance…
Yet what is he doing now to keep them from stealing the House? He lost at least two seats in California that way in 2024. Yes, I know about how he's demanded voter ID in return for Federill funds, but if he doesn't kill mail-in ballots and demand clean voter rolls, the Slave Party will find a way to steal it.
Perhaps because now it’s not about a “good fella” legacy but a “bulldozer” legacy. You see at this point in time in history President Trump’s legacy will be known as either : “NO FKS GIVEN” or “THE FAFO” legacy…😂. I LOVE IT!
They did everything they could to defeat him, including prison and murder...now he knows he *only* has 4 years to pay them all back.
Not that it’s even about ‘payback’ - more, we all deserve better and clearly this apparatus needs to be dismantled.
Does Capt. Seth Keshel know you ripped off his work for your blog?
How do you sleep at night?
Trump is Andrew Jackson more than any of his predecessors
No question of that
But he’s also a one off too
