Yeah, the comparison is there. But it's too kind to Trump. He's nowhere close to Jackson's stature.

And as for the Democratic Party: I'm aware of the ugly history. And in another era, I hope a I would have been a Republican. But the parties have changed places in some profound ways.

The most important thing we need to know about that shiny red ball is not what quadrant it is in but in which direction it is heading.

"It was Jackson who initiated the spoils system--and founded the Democratic Party."

And... We can thank our lucky stars that the Democratic Party is FAR what it was in the 1830s.

Trump is a latter day Andrew Jackson--a vulgar, populist demagogue who picked fights with foreign powers (France) and deported racial minorities (Native Americans). It was Jackson who initiated the spoils system--and founded the Democratic Party.

The problem with every choice he makes is we don't know if it will be normal, a horror, or a joke. He could appoint someone like Colin Powell as SoS. Or he could appoint someone like David Duke, or Weird Al Yankovic

No, actually it's worse than that.

Every President replaces the head of FEMA. Trump could always appoint someone who was no good at emergency relief or who didn't want to do any emergency relief.

Trump wants to replace all the REST of FEMA: the people who know how to do the stuff. The people who know how to get emergency supplies to places. The guys who've worked previous hurricanes. Them.

He wants to power to replace everyone at the National Weather Service. Everyone at GAO. Everyone at the IRS and SEC. Them.
