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.

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.

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.
