He’s just asking for a friend.

Does this mean Trump’s health care plan is the distribution of Small Pox ridden blankets?

“They said my campaign is most like, my campaign and win, was most like Andrew Jackson,” Trump said.
Andrew Jackson won the popular vote in all three Presidential elections he ran in it. The first however, was decided in the House for John Quincy Adams (1824), but Jackson still won the popular vote that year.
So no, Trump’s win was nothing like Jackson’s. Nor is he, though he no doubt gets all excited about such comparisons. Jackson actually fought in wars and gave up his horse to march with his men. He dueled and killed a man for insulting his wife…and though Jackson had no children of his own (he adopted several), I am willing to bet that had someone called one of them a “hot piece of ass” to his face, that also would have ended in a duel and certainly not an agreement.
And just to be clear here…Jackson was a first rate asshole in every regard. And yet, by comparison, he actually DOES look like a hero compared to Trump.

In 150 years, people will be asking “What were the people of that country thinking to elect such an obvious idiot as their president?”

Look, he was pandering to Southern racists in Tennessee, telling them what he thought would sound good. I’m not sure where the ignorance ends and the pandering begins. Anyway, it’s a disgusting 1:28.

You realize that Trump hasn’t thought about the civil war since grade school and probably remembers Jackson only from the movies. Somebody in the White House is tutoring him. I wonder if that somebody is named Bannon?
Andy Jackson might have won the Battle of New Orleans but his abysmal treatment of Native Americans earns him an eternity in hell as far as I am concerned. He wasn’t so much a swashbuckler as a land swindler.

Trump appeared to praise Jackson… as a “swashbuckler.”
This is an unintentional revelation of Trump’s psyche—a part of him knows that he’s nothing but an overweight candy-ass who wouldn’t know which end of a sword to hold, and that the real Andrew Jackson would gut him like a fish.

Trump continued. “People don’t realize, you know, the Civil War, you think about it, why? People don’t ask that question, but why was there the Civil War? Why could that one not have been worked out?”
Seriously? Wharton?

A trifecta of funny!
Edit- Trump is neither drunk nor on drugs when he volunteers his bad history lessons. Since we know he does not read, he must be getting his info from drunk advisors who may be on drugs too. I’m guessing Bannon.

The only ways that Trump and Andrew Jackson are at all alike is in Jackson’s worst features.

It’s kind of interesting that I’ve seen this comparison made, and he’d certainly seize on it and feel it flatters him, and he still has it completely garbled and churned around into nonsense. It’s all hazy impressions, not a factual understanding of a biography. So why, with such compelling motivation to actually learn something for once? Why can’t he do it? Because he’s a lazy slob? Because he’s had a lifelong inability to process and remember information? Creeping organic problems? Just idly speculating on a subject on which the fate of the earth might turn. Nothin’ better to do, obviously. La la la la la.
