      If you think Andrew Jackson was mad about the Civil War, you should have heard his thoughts on Vietnam. Not good!

          I'm sorry for not joking about presidents that didn't happen? That's a weird criticism.

          No you just pretend that Obama didn't do the same thing Trump is doing. Only difference is Trump follows the law

          Andrew Jackson voted to go into Iraq and until he admits this was a mistake, I will not support him.
