REDECORATE Trump Hangs Andrew Jackson Portrait in Oval Office� Elites Will Be Horrified.

Long before President Donald Trump stepped onto the political scene, a 61-year-old veteran

of guerrilla warfare in the American Revolution fought his way from the political trenches

to the White House by drumming up anti-establishment fervor that swept the American populace.

This man was Andrew Jackson, and in 1829 he became America�s seventh president after

having run an outsider�s campaign � much like Trump�s 2016 presidential election

campaign � that resonated strongly with the American people.

�One of the central themes of Jackson�s election, like Trump�s, was that a permanent

political class had rooted itself in the nation�s capital and needed to be expunged,� The

Daily Signal noted.

�Many bureaucrats had spent their entire careers in Washington, D.C., despite, in many

cases, their incompetence, corruption, and general uselessness.�

And as was reported by The New York Times earlier this week, this great man�s portrait

now hangs in the Oval Office.

Establishment politicians in both the Democrat and Republican parties must be horrified � and

rightfully so.

Jackson was �America�s original anti-establishment candidate, according to Smithsonian magazine,

and just like President Trump, he was loathed by mainstream political and media figures

such as Margaret Bayard Smith, a well-known writer and publisher of the era.

�The Majesty of the People had disappeared,� she reportedly said of Jackson�s inauguration.

�A rabble, a mob, of boys, negroes, women, children, scrambling fighting, romping � The

whole (White House) had been inundated by the rabble mob.�

She sounded just as bitter and despondent as the establishment hacks who make up the

contemporary media.

Sadly for her, Jackson�s actions in office only made things that much worse for the establishment.

During his eight-year presidency, for instance, he waged a war against the corrupt Bank of

the United States, eventually removing its federal deposits and distributing them to

several dozen other private banks.

He also made one of the most stunning defenses of term limits in American history during

his first annual message to Congress on Dec. 8, 1829.

It showed that even then, the Washington �swamp� needed draining:

There are, perhaps, few men who can for any great length of time enjoy office and power

without being more or less under the influence of feelings unfavorable to the faithful discharge

of their public duties.

Their integrity may be proof against improper considerations immediately addressed to themselves,

but they are apt to acquire a habit of looking with indifference upon the public interests

and of tolerating conduct from which an unpracticed man would revolt.

Office is considered as a species of property, and government rather as a means of promoting

individual interests than as an instrument created solely for the service of the people.

Corruption in some and in others a perversion of correct feelings and principles divert

government from its legitimate ends and make it an engine for the support of the few at

the expense of the many.

The duties of all public officers are, or at least admit of being made, so plain and

simple that men of intelligence may readily qualify themselves for their performance;

and I cannot but believe that more is lost by the long continuance of men in office than

is generally to be gained by their experience.

I submit, therefore, to your consideration whether the efficiency of the Government would

not be promoted and official industry and integrity better secured by a general extension

of the law which limits appointments to four years.

In a country where offices are created solely for the benefit of the people no one man has

any more intrinsic right to official station than another.

Offices were not established to give support to particular men at the public expense.

No individual wrong is, therefore, done by removal, since neither appointment to nor

continuance in office is a matter of right.

The incumbent became an officer with a view to public benefits, and when these require

his removal they are not to be sacrificed to private interests.

It is the people, and they alone, who have a right to complain when a bad officer is

substituted for a good one.

He who is removed has the same means of obtaining a living that are enjoyed by the millions

who never held office.

The proposed limitation would destroy the idea of property now so generally connected

with official station, and although individual distress may be sometimes produced, it would,

by promoting that rotation which constitutes a leading principle in the republican creed,

give healthful action to the system.

Granted, Jackson was by no means a great president.

But it did not matter because the people loved him nonetheless, primarily because he � like

President Donald Trump � was willing to stand up to the establishment and speak on

behalf of the American people themselves.
