The entire universe of people who would actually believe that Trump was intentionally "sticking it" to Jackson could probably fit in a coupe.
No one said it was intentional, but it happened anyway
Why do you have to assume things? It was the biggest slap in the face Jackson and his memory could have received.
Like you, I didn't vote for Hillary, and I didn't vote for Trump. I don't live in a swing state, and neither do you. Pilot1 one does live in a swing state
Sorry that was supposed to read "A third party vote."
Could not have been a better place to award the descendants of the same people AJ persecuted.
Trump stuck it to AJ and everyone seems to have missed the coupe.
The Navajo were never persecuted by Jackson. That started up under Grant. Grant sent a dream team of Union commanders out West after the Civil War with a free rein to trample ,raze and annihilate. Which they did with glee. Sherman hated the Indians and cared very little how they were dealt with so long as they wound up dead amidst burned out villages.
Jackson dumped on tribes like the Cherokee, Nez Perce, Chickasaw, Seminole, Mohawk, Huron, Sauk and Fox, and other NE and SE tribes. Many members of these tribes fought for the Confederacy for promises of more even treatment under a Southern Nation.
Considering how crucial the code talkers were to the island hopping campaign it took a long time for them to receive the recognition they deserve. Without them the Japs would have been able to inflict worse casualties than were taken (which were most considerable).
but as far as the history of the Indian Wars goes, Western and Plains tribes did not receive any decimating action out of Jacksons administration. They started catching hell in the 1850s and saw the peak in the 1870s and 80s up to the turn of the century. Jackson means very little if anything to the Navajo.
And if his favorite president was "progressive" Democrat Woodrow Wilson who re-segregated the federal government after it was already desegregated, would it be offensive to invite African Americans to the White House?
How about that statue of Exalted Ku Klux Klan Cyclops Senator Robert Byrd (Democrat) that's in the Capitol Building? Should the Legislative Branch remove the statue since African Americans are likely to be in the room?

It wasn't about inviting them to the building, it was holding a photo op and ceremony with a painting of Andrew Jackson as the background. It would have been easy to recognize the optics of the situation and switch out the painting. Do try to keep up.
What happens when the bully gets their ass kicked? They whine and have all the excuses.
A local, here, accused me of driving a chicken coupe.
He knows who he is.
