I see him more like Lincoln for a lot of reasons:
1. Jackson was a pol. He was a senator before being president, so (a little) more of an insider than Trump. Lincoln, though a Whig, only held briefly a House seat and hadn’t won and election in a decade. More of an outsider.
2. Jackson was surrounded by loyalists and he put other loyalists in almost every spot he could in government (one exception, John Calhoun). Lincoln, however, was surrounded by enemies who wanted his job and who thought themselves smarter than him, especially William Seward and Edwin Stanton.
3. Jackson pretty much had a united nation behind him. There was NO opposing party in 1928. We literally had a one party system then. Lincoln, however, not only faced Democrats, but TWO other political parties, a completely divided geographic nation, and backstabbers in the form of “Copperheads” in the North.
Hey, LS, O/T, but we’re starting to see some signs that maybe Huma was turned.. and with her Weiner. Have you heard any rustlings about this?

Let’s hope he remains a bit more resolute than Lincoln (although I wonder when he talks of making deals with Palestinians)

I see logic and it makes sense. But Johnny Horton has this song that really reminds me of the strength of Trump. :)
I recently read of a book written back in the 1940’s that pretty much told the truth of how he really was, then more recently there are two books by Thomas J. Dilorenzo that delve into Lincoln even more.
