re: #42 Blind Frog Belly White
Well, you gotta remember that Trump is dumb as a stump, and can only hold one or two “facts” about anything in his head. So he read someplace that Jackson was a populist who took on ‘the elites’, and decides to idolize him without looking any deeper than the surface.
RWNJs aren’t going to have an easy time making Andy Jackson into a movement conservative deity. Sure they approve of his slave-owning and genocide and displacement of native Americans, but Jackson was a staunch anti-Confederate, and was not out to make the rich better off at everyone else’s expense.
