President Trump hung a portrait of Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office on Tuesday, The New York Times reports, an apparent nod to the populist sentiments of the new administration.

Jackson dominated US politics for 20 years. Let's hope Trump will have similar impact.

I’d like to see Trump nominate Dan Snyder to lead the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

“..I wonder what was removed....”

Well, the Muslim-in-Chief removed the bust of Churchill. Maybe that will be returned as it should be.

And was the ONLY President to PAYOFF the National Debt and put us on a Path of unbridled prosperity, then well we got the Den of Vipers back in 1913.

ABOLISH the Den of Vipers and go back to Real Money as defined in Article 1,section 8 and Article 1 section 10 of the US Constitution.

CNN: “President Trump hung a portrait of Andrew Jackson, a black save owner, in the White House.”

A portrait of Andrew Jackson by Thomas Sully hung in Lyndon Johnson’s office, and in Ronald Reagan’s, George H. W. Bush’s and Bill Clinton’s.

I once worked with an old couple from Western North Carolina. His name was Allen Jackson and he was a preacher. I once mentioned to his wife Bonnie that he looked just like Andrew Jackson.

She told me that when they were first married, they took a vacation trip to Tallahassee, Florida. In the Capitol was a portrait of Andrew Jackson who was once Governor of Florida.

She told me it looked just like her husband. They had no idea if they were actually related.

If he weren’t such a high achiever with better things to do, imagine how much fun he would be on the pun threads.
