Talk about clueless on that. What a colossal fubar.
I think the two put together demonstrates the complete incompetence of the administration.
Nobody knew enough about the history of this country to not know any better -- or they just didn't care.
Unbelievable.
We know Trump hasn't a clue but somebody in the Oval Office has to have some kind of clue right?

I'm sure they do. I'm also sure most of them probably don't know what he looks like.

He was a president of the US, backed by a successful career serving the US before that.

So you are saying that is no big deal because you don't think they know who Jackson is.
Wow -- they do now.

Agreed. Jackson should have been tried for genocide. There's no excuse for what he did, none.
