If I am not mistaken, President Trump is an admirer of Jackson.

Partner, President Jackson was a populist and he loved people. The D.C. folks did not like him because they thought he was just another hick from the woods.

I just got through finishing the book on the War of 1812 and the role that Ole Hickory played in this war.

He led a rag tag army of back woodsmen to defend the city of New Orleans in 1814, since the Brits wanted to come in through the Mississippi river.

He knew exactly where the enemy was coming through and Ole Hickory put up defenses for his troops and he also put them across the Mississippi. The battle lasted only one day and Ole Hickory only lost 2 men while the Brits lost thousands and the Brits ran thru briars as the song goes.

We won the battle of 1814 only because of the genius of Ole Hickory and he turned out to be a pretty good President.

Jackson Square in the City of New Orleans is named after President Jackson and there is a bronze statue in Jackson Square showing then General Jackson riding his horse.

BTW, President Jackson's family came from Scotland.
