Can someone tell me why a sitting President in 2017...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

....is currently tweeting about the causes of a war that ended 152 years ago?

Is this some sort of sick joke?

1. Psychological priming.

I thought it was rather obvious. That's pretty much all his Twitter is used for.

2. He is a history buff. Or

is it a history bluff

3. Good response to Drumpf's tweet

13. Funny that Trump is backtracking on his earlier statement

He clearly meant in his original statement that Jackson was displeased with the CW, not that he would have been displeased, that he was displeased and angry. Someone must have clued him in on his gaffe and now he's trying to make up for it with "16 years before the CW started". He's a nutter and that response is perfect!

4. Because he has a hankering for the good old days

When a man like Jackson could own slaves. One disgusting thought I had was that this relates to the conversation about Obama's speaking fee.

6. If he wantedto talk about the war surely he could take a ffew moments to get the correct facts.

7. He is blessing us with profound pearls of wisdom.

He has the best thoughts, the best ideas, the best words....

8. It's Red Meat for His Minions

Combining what orange boy considers his greatest talent (negotiation) with nonsense that his base is obsessed with (getting their asses kicked in the Civil War). All of them are full of shit.

9. His fan club hasn't gotten over the South's loss so why should he?

10. It's ok. The 'sitting' president will be grabbing his ankles soon. Behind bars.

11. Military runs in his family - his grandfather fought the Nazis in World War I

12. Hmm, Andrew Jackson.

He believed in slavery, removed Indians from THEIR homes, believed that men should have control of their women, and had people hung because they had different political beliefs. OK, that last one might be wrong but that is what I understood when I read the history about him.
