The worst president. Ever.

First off he might have some conservativeness left in him but he’s not a Republican, he’s an independent. He doesn’t think the GOP should survive. He also supported Hillary Clinton a terrible choice insofar as foreign policy which is his forte. That in itself means he wasn’t too conservative all along.
But putting that aside his article was rubbish.
Boot believes in free markets, free trade, balanced budgets. You all have abandoned that with this person. It’s all about the courts. And you have abandoned morality.
As I said, he was never too conservative in the first place to support Clinton. But I recommend you write him in over Biden.
He's still a Republican, you guys are in a cult now. That's why you don't recognize him as a Republican anymore.
Trump has been comically inept at foreign policy. It's what happens when you put a guy who played a successful executive on TV into the Oval Office instead of a soulless technocrat with decades of experience in the stuff a president needs to know how to do. There isn't a world leader that hasn't played Trump like a fiddle.
Getting back to the question. Yeah he is the worst President ever. We’ll survive it.
Can you imagine if Obama had failed to respond to a pandemic like Trump has?

Aren't you listening? This is all Obama's fault. He is the one who failed to act 3+ years ago. There was literally nothing could do, and nobody saw this unseen enemy coming.
Jackson was a slaveowner who purposefully committed genocide (even against the Cherokee who had faithfully served with him during the War of 1812, his stab in the back to thousands of his former soldiers is highlighted in the Cherokee museum in NC). In fact the main reason he committed genocide against the "civilized tribes" was because he wanted more land....for slave plantations.
As a general he took it upon himself with no authority from the federal government to invade Spanish Florida in order to sack Pensacola and murder Native Americans there even though the majority if not all had nothing to do with some retaliatory raids in Alabama from other Natives who had been forcibly removed from ancestral lands.
So yeah.....Andyjack was an old fashioned homicidal, racist slave owning tyrant.
What do you care? You'd have been a Spaniard if it hadn't been for Jackson.
Nah I'm only a second generation Floridian. I would have been half Virginian and half North Carolinian if Florida was a foreign country.
Really.....you think aderall snorting fat KFC and McD POTUS lives 4 more years?
Hopefully, this is sarcasm.Andrew Jackson was an evil asshole and a massive failure as a president no matter what criteria you use.
None at all. The facts are, he opened up government to “ the common man”...being the first “westerner” to become President and by instituting “ the spoils system” of government he ended the east coast dominance of governance. He did pay off the nation's debt by using windfall money todo so...but he did pay off the debt...he did did open up lands in the South and the West for frontiersmen settlement...Florida and Texas...imagine if he hadn’t opened up Texas in the 1830’s, and the Mexicans had control of Texas and the west when gold was discovered in California...The USA might be totally different today, as would Mexico. Finally and most importantly, Jackson effectively dealt with the “nullification question” raised by South Carolina. He was able to negotiate a successful ending to this crisis and delayed the CW got 25-30 years...A weaker President...such as Tyler or Buchanan would not have been able to do so ( weak characters) and South Carolina and other slave states might well have used “ nullification” ad a reason to secede from the Union...and in the 1830’s the US didn’t have the strength or the military to stop them from doing so....in the 1860’s, the Federal Government was strong enough to stop the South from this action. Also, Jackson, was a populist and a very popular figure with most Americans..and he was instrumental in extending the vote to all white male citizens and not limiting the vote to property owners only.
Now please don’t tell me what a rotten bastard he was with how he dealt with Indians..he was. But, he was an amazing success in American history when judged for his times and place in out history.
Andrew Jackson was put in the Hall of
Shame for uprooting 100,000 Indians.
Congress in 1830 promised that if the
Indians of the East would settle West
of the Mississippi River, they would be
permanently assured of no more problems
with the government.
President Jackson said: "The only good
Indian is a dead Indian."

It all makes sense now...you thinking the drunken Chief Wahoo Injun mascot isn’t racist. All comes together here.
Gillibrand sunk any chance she had at the nomination when she started taking swipes at WJC during the height of the 'me too' movement.
Obama left the White House lousy with billy goats. That was his fault.
The thing is that Jackson was considered aggressive even at his time when it came to removal of Native Americans.
