    I’m surprised he knows who Jackson even is.

    (It’s because of the racism, isn’t it?)

      More than just that. Jackson was the first populist president, and was critized for being a demogogue who adhered to the law when it benefited him, ignoring it when not. He also claimed an election he lost for president was corrupt and split off creating a new party. Then the other things like ethnic cleansing of natives pushing them to territories, and being a slave owner.
