He now claims that that bastion of racial tolerance, Andrew Jackson would have had just the right touch to mediate between the north and south, and therefore, would have avoided the Civil War. What a guy! Never mind that it was Jackson who oversaw the slaughter of thousands of Native Americans and displacing thousands more. No doubt he would have mustered the sensitivity to deal fairly with all factions including Black slaves, southern plantation owners, northern merchants and abolitionists to come to an amicable agreement that would have been lauded by all.
Trump has also said that he would be honored to have that "pretty smart
cookie" Korea's Kim Jong Un come for a White House visit so they could
"work things out." He has also made an open invitation to Philippine
President Rodrigo Duterte to come have a nice WH dinner. This after
calling and congratulating Turkey's dictator Erdogan for his electoral
victory, eliminating all democratic elements of their government.
Notice a pattern here? Coupled with his long time swooning over Vladimir Putin, Trump has repeatedly and consistently shown an admiration and probably not a little envy for the world's current crop of authoritarian leaders. Delusions of grandeur.
