One or two differences between Jackson and Trump, though, are important.
Jackson was owned by the Democrat Party. His Indian removal policy was a direct result of Southern planters who had paid for Jackson’s election (and also apparently bribed him). These first Democrats coveted the good rich lands of the Choctaw and Cherokee farmers who had already done the “heavy lifting” preparing these lands.
Trump is owned by no man or group.
Second, though Trump is an “outsider” so to speak. He had spent a lot more time with the slimey “elites” than had Jackson. Although Trump may be surprised now about how slimey these people really are, at least he went to school with them and worked with them in his business career. That gives him some insights into the enemy that Jackson could not have had going in.
May God Bless President Trump and our Republic
BTW, Victor Davis Hanson continues to be one of the most informed and insightful observers of our world today. This article in the Hoover Institute publication is just the most recent example.
Great thinking! Still Johnny Horton has this song about the War of 1812 and it has Trump’s name written all over it. Cheesy I know.... :)
Yep, the first gold rush was in Georgia.
Consider that even with that the economy still floundered under Jackson.
You are right. Jackson is not a good comparison.
