How U.S. History Would Look Like if Trump Were in Charge
Donald Trump tweeted Jackson-related nonsense doubling down on his earlier sentiment. Naturally, the internet is having some fun with that.
President Andrew Jackson, who died 16 years before the Civil War started, saw it coming and was angry. Would never have let it happen!

All started Monday when Trump was interviewed on a radio show and he lost Andrew Jackson in time. He then wondered why no one asks why the Civil War happened despite more than 150 years of history, scholarly articles, books, movies, television shows, hundreds of historic sites around the country and tens of thousands of re-enactors devoted to asking precisely that central-to-U.S.-history question.
Twitter users, who are not the type to let anything slide, were here for it and came up with delightful alternative facts from history under the hashtag #TrumpHistoryLesson.
@realDonaldTrump If Andrew Jackson had wiretapped Abe Lincoln, they, along w/ the Wright Bros could have prevented WWII. #TrumpHistoryLesson

@JennaSeeks @LibertyWolfDog If Mexico had a stronger Air Force they could have saved John McCain from Guantanamo Bay. 5 months out of his life #TrumpHistoryLesson
