Trump identifies with Jackson on many levels. As a man and a leader, he likes the brash, confrontational, hypermasculine, lionlike attitude that characterized the seventh president. Jackson pushed executive power to the limits, just like Trump tries to do. However, differences exist between the two that might prompt Trump to consider the potential danger of how he governs and whom he listens to.

Abstract

Trump identifies with Jackson on many levels. As a man and a leader, he likes the brash, confrontational, hypermasculine, lionlike attitude that characterized the seventh president. Jackson pushed executive power to the limits, just like Trump tries to do. However, differences exist between the two that might prompt Trump to consider the potential danger of how he governs and whom he listens to.
