May 3, 2020. Madison, Mississippi. Presidents.
This evening, an hour length document on Andrew Jackson was on TV. I have read several biographies about him and have found him interesting. When he was alive, he was a hero and was so for many years after his death. But his reputation has fallen and now people in New Orleans want his statute pulled down. His home in Tennessee is still open to the public and is popular but because he instituted the Tale of Tears and ran his farm with slave labor, people want him excised from the record even though he was a successful general and president. One interesting fact about President Jackson was that he hated the press and they hated him. They hated him and wrote terrible things about him. It does reminded me about the present President.
When President Trump was elected, the liberal left had a nervous breakdown. They assumed that Hillary Clinton would win. But she lost. And it was all Trumps fault. When a friend was sounding off about the newly elected President I reminded her about democracy. "What part of the democratic system do you not understand?" I asked her. I thought they and the press would get over it. In America, that is how it is done. But they never did. Nothing that President Trump says or does is ever good even though he used the same words as the former president, he is said to be stupid and a liar. It is actually tiresome. Instead of trying to work on behalf of the people in the country, they are still trying to bring him down. It is pathetic. And irritating.
Instead of investigating China or the top folks in the FBI and the CIA, the Democratic s in the house say they are investigating the Present's handling of the virus. Stupidity in action. And certainly not helpful to the country. These liberals on the left need to take off their blinkers and notice that good things have happened in the country. But most of the liberal press will never say anything good about anything the president does or says. President Jackson also was badly treated by the press but not as bad as President Trump. But time will set the record straight, eventually. I am counting on it.
