John Calhoun's rancid soul goes marching on

I've always said that Trump using Andrew Jackson for his Prsidencial symbolism was historically bizarrre. The 1830s ancestor of Trumpism was Jackson's arch-enemy John C. Calhoun. Matthew Whitaker, actually supports state nullification of federal law. (Andrew Kaczynski, Whitaker said he supports state's rights to nullify federal law CNN 11/10/2018)

It doesn't get more Calhounian than that. (Cody Carlson, This week in history: John C. Calhoun and the Nullification Crisis Deseret News 12/17/2012; Nullification crisis Encyclopaedia Britannica 10/26/2018)
