Maybe we should leave that to full-time historians, because I have never seen attributed to Jackson a number of critical traits attributed to 45th - by his own supporters.

Edwin L. Battistella, "Dangerous Crooked Scoundrels - Insulting the President, from Washington to Trump" (Oxford University Press)
> ø Features over 500 insults in a sweeping journey through two and a half centuries of the ridicule and revilement Americans have directed at their presidents; ø Puts today's political climate in perspective by tracing invective back to the nation's earliest days; ø Explains the historical context and linguistic origins of the insults, providing a sense of the history of the presidency and of the English language
