Tavis Smiley: Andrew Jackson Is the Perfect Icon of Selfishness for Trump

I know Donald Trump is a big fan of Andrew Jackson, a president who was autocratic, authoritarian, paternalistic, xenophobic and an unapologetic supporter of slavery. I also know, though, that my grandmother, Big Mama, was fond of saying, “Even a broken clock is right twice a day.” What she meant was: There’s some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us, so we should try hard not to judge people by their worst deeds.
