Old Hickory and Golden Cheeto. |
Fuhrer Donald J. Trump pissed off the Cherokee nation after he decided to lay wreath at the tomb of Andrew Jackson, the president who advocate the Indian Removal Act. The removal act forced the removal of the Cherokee, Seminole, Chickasaw, Muscogee, and Choctaw tribes from their ancestral homelands. When some of the tribes refused to relocate, Jackson ordered a violent and subliminal attack on the tribes, He would bring blankets full of disease, rape their women and sabotage tribal chief who held resistance.
It was called the "Trail of Tears."
Trump's flagrant disrespect towards Native Americans continue. He ordered the immediate continuation of the Dakota Access pipeline. It riled up the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and they are taking this to federal court to cease further construction of the pipeline.
Trump's visit to the grave and says that it "inspires" him.
"What a great visit. Inspirational visit, I have to tell you. I'm a fan!"
The Cherokee Nation was none too happy that Trump would embrace a person who stood firm for White rights and considered those below him as "savages".
Even political aide Steve Bannon had praise for Jackson's methods.
The U.S. Treasury is about to replace Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman and conservatives went bonkers over it.
And the last leader to visit the grave of Jackson was Ronald Reagan.
Old Hickory was the nickname of Andrew Jackson.
