Oddly enough for the people saying Teddy, he is probably the president who is the most like Trump. I mean if Twitter was a thing 110 years ago, Trumps twitter feed is probably what you would have seen out of Teddy.

Anyways, for me it is Jackson. Probably the closest to a Libertarian president we have ever had.

Uh...NO. Teddys most famous motto was "speak softly and carry a big stick."
Trump is the exact fucking opposite of that ethos!
Plus, Teddy was the biggest trust-buster we've ever had as president and promoted a ton of federal regulations (FDA) and created the national parks system, claiming stretches of nature as public land for the public good. Trump actively is trying to destroy regulations that protect people and give away public lands to private industry, and has a plethora of corporate CEOs in his cabinet.
They literally could not be more opposite.

Not surprised a fan of Genocide Jackson* doesn't know his history too well. Coincidentally, Jackson is a lot like Trump, which is probably why Trump admires him so much. Gotta love that spoils system....

*Ok, "Ethnic Cleansing Jackson" is more accurate, but doesn't roll off the tongue as well
