Donald Trump certainly ain't scripted like every other politician. His habit of saying what pops into his mind has gotten him in deep doo doo on a lot of occasions. This thing about Jackson isn't a big thing. No one cares as most have gotten use to Trump saying nonsense things like above. A lot of now just don't pay any attention to him anymore.

Your point?

Trump referred to Jackson as if he was alive during the war.

What part of this quote;

"I mean had Andrew Jackson been a little bit later you wouldn't have had the Civil War. He was a very tough person, but he had a big heart."

did you fail to understand ??

"He was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War. He said, 'There's no reason for this,'" Trump continued.

What part of a man dying in 1845 and therefore incapable of being angry about the Civil War 20 years after his death, and a dead man presumably not being able to talk 20 years after his death, did you fail to understand?

President Andrew Jackson on Secession and Nullification

You know, after seeing now the 5th I think thread on this today, I have to wonder if maybe people have lost sight of what is important. Trump flubs history. This affects me how? We have another attempt at health care reform coming, we have a tax plan just released last week, we have North Korea, we have Syria, we have Russia. In the grand scheme of things, this matters not at all.

As is it has made the foreign press, along with him being "honored" to meet the butcher of NK, and him melting away like a snowflake from a CBS interview, all in 48 hours, yes it does matter. It shows a pattern of erratic behavior, if you think the Dems are noticing, you can sure as hell bet our enemies overseas are, along with a few terrorist. This is just a continuing pattern of behavior he has shown since taking office, the net result is D Trump has zero integrity, and that MATTERS to some of us, even if you do not think so.

Our president has demonstrated almost no understanding of history. First Frederick Douglas and now this.

Who needs history and facts when one can have a personal opinion?

And again, the man died 20 years before the Civil War. It's hard to be dead and commenting on something at the same time.

Any opinion from YOU on your link ?

Jackson had already dealt with the succession question, Trump believes he could have again without war.

Why is this so hard to understand ??

Obama thinks the Austrians speak Austrian and that American troops liberated Auschwitz.

Hey andrew was an avowed racist. Famous for Moving Indians off their lands, slaves. What do you expect from don the con? Jackson justified this by his racist belief that native tribes were uncultured “savages” who could be transformed “from barbarism to the habits and enjoyments of civilized life.”

Wasnt pretty much every president back then?

"I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality." -Abraham Lincoln
 
I hate to say this, but I really am not at all shocked by this. Sad.

Barack Obama
“Islam has always been a part of America’s story…and since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States”.

Yet there was exactly one mosque built in America before my father was born. This Obama staement was 'the mother of all incorrect
bombastic flourishes' ever utterred by a POTUS.

If you don't know that dead man had already dealt with the question of succession, educate yourself.

So Donald Trump just made up words that Jackson never said, because we all know that dead men don't speak.
