Unless you've weren't paying attention in your high school history class, you should know that Andrew Johnson was the 1st president to be impeached. If you've been on any social media site, you should also know that Donald Trump was Impeached on the 18th of December. These 2 historical events are both very different but similar for the same reason. Both presidents were nothing but emotionally volatile.
President Donald Trump has been a roller coaster. From almost starting World War 3 multiple times to declaring war on Black athletes, Trump has some similarities between Andrew Johnson when it comes to acting out pubicly. President Johnson tried to change the south back to what it was; which was bringing back slavery. He also tried to veto the 14th amendment. Similarly, they both are very dangerous when it comes to making important decisions for the Country. Andrew Johnson was racist but Trump is as well. You know the more I think about it these too didn't seem that different to me.
Of course, their main difference would be how they were both impeached. Trump was impeached for illegal dealings and Andrew Johnson was impeached for violation of the tenure act. Hopefully, Donald Trump isn't pro-slavery like Andrew Johnson. It may seem like their not indistinguishable, which their not. The only difference is the different races they were racist towards. Andrew Johnson may have been for the union but he wasn't too big on giving African Americans rights/voting rights. Just like Donald Trump, they both tried to maintain and change America by cleansing it of any other races as any white supremacist would.
Andrew Johnson and Donald Trump are almost driven by vision. They both wanted to change America just because they didn't like a certain race. History forever will compare these two together when it comes to foolery.
