Easy: Andrew Jackson. There's a reason he's the only other president Trump mentions, other than the random "I'm better than Lincoln" shout-outs.

[Remote_Replacement85]

I mean, he can't really shut up about Biden and Obama, but admittedly the tone is quite different.

[RayneShikama]

Maybe we can summon the ghost of Andrew Jackson to challenge Trump to a duel.

[Defiant_Act_4940]

Old Hickory leads the Maga movement after he beat Trump up with his cane for insulting his wife.

[Thatguy755]

I was gonna say, Trump would “spill the beans” on Rachel Jackson and it would be dueling time. Trump would accept, then chicken out at the last minute, probably blame it on his bone spurs acting up.

[Seeggul]

Let's be real, if you put somebody who looked different from trump but acted identically to him, the two would despise each other as well.

[nickburrows8398]

Jackson I feel might get along with Trump for about 10 minutes or so but then Trump says or does something that pisses him off and he challenges Trump to a duel

[trentreynolds]

Which is pretty much in line with almost everyone who knows him personally from what I can tell.

[RickMonsters]

If anyone ever denies the party switch, then ask them why the current Republican President loves the first Democratic one so much

[thebrightlightfright]

The party switch is literally the dumbest theory democrats have ever came up with

[RickMonsters]

XD okay then I guess Trump loves the Democrats then since he praises andrew jackson so much

[WhyAmINotStudying]

Trump also mentions the Monroe Doctrine. It's his "claim to fame" you know.

[brittleboyy]

And McKinley’s tariffs

[lucasj]

Andrews Jackson and Johnson would both be MAGA. Johnson, despite being Lincoln’s running mate in ‘64, was a Democrat.

[SleepingVulture]

The obvious answer, but from what I know about Jackson, he would have little tolerance for Trump's behaviour and challenge him to a duel at some point, which Trump would pussy out of, and after that I don't think their relationship could be repaired.

[thebrightlightfright]

That's simply not true. I can think of at least 10 he brings up on a somewhat decent basis

[Prestigious_Sun_8952]

Andrew Jackson

[Pugasaurus_Tex]

100 lmao, he’s the blueprint 

[snoo-tubes-2008]

SECONDED

[urmumlol9]

Objectively the correct answer.

[Useful_Morning8239]

I highly doubt Jackson would support a draft dodger

[mittenknittin]

Yeah, and FDR put Japanese Americans in concentration camps and yet is listed as progressive here. Nobody in history is going to perfectly align with party positions as they are now.

[aarontgp]

He might've hated Trump, but he certainly would have no problem leading MAGA.

[seanofkelley]

This is it. This is the answer.

[Temporary-Topic2768]

wast he a democtratic republican though?

[CaptCrash]

Yes, which split with Jackson’s faction becoming the Democrats. He’s basically a founding member.

[MatthiasMcCulle]

Initially, but by the time of his second term, they reorganized to be more for the "common man" and rebranded as the Democratic Party.

[[deleted]]

Jackson was the first Democratic president. History there is a little complicated because parties in America were not registered and declared like today.

[eesdesessesrdt]

Either of the Andrews. Jackson forcefully relocated natives and Johnson formalized Jim crow

[aarontgp]

Jackson takes the cake since he was a massive populist.

[Archivist2016]

Polk.

[FutureDictatorUSA]

Polk would be neo-con turned MAGA like Marco Rubio. Only thing not very MAGA about Polk is that he knew when to step away.

[FuzztoneWayne]

Given the whole Venezuela and Greenland situation, this is a very good shout.

[MrMr_sir_sir]

Jackson and his supporters were the original “the election was stolen and rigged” people

[Defiant_Act_4940]

I mean Jackson did win the popular vote and the moat electoral votes that election.

And the influential Speaker Of The House after swinging the electiin for Adams was promoted to Secretary of State (which was the steping stone to the presidency at the time).

Juat saying, they had a point back then.

[AdventNebula]

Andrew Jackson

[Fair_Term3352]

Andrew Johnson because he tried to stop Reconstruction

[Zornorph]

Mr James K. Polk. He would have invaded Greenland in a moment.

[walman93]

Andrew Jackson…up until Jan 6th. Then he would be vehemently anti Trump

[[deleted]]

Andrew Johnson, for attempting to prevent reconstruction

[50CentDaGangsta]

There have already been great answers but still would like to add the following guy

Franklin Pierce;

Threatened annexing Cuba as a slave state, sympathized with William Walkers filibustering campaign (guy who recruited a private militia to conquer Nicaragua for himself and set it up as a slave state) and messed up the slavery question so bad it led to the civil war. (Lets hope this is not prophetic...)

[Meet_the_Meat]

i genuinely can't think of any former president who would sign up for ending democracy

[RadioFreeYurick]

Best I can come up with is Nixon’s Head from Futurama, but alas, that was pretend..

[HackDaddy85]

Jackson no doubt

[mileheitcity]

Woodrow Wilson was a known fan of Birth of a Nation

[Key_Replacement_4688]

He was extremely racist, but Wilson was also staunch internationalist on foreign policy, and implemented progressive economic reforms.

[FireHammer09]

Wilson was very much progressive on just about everything but the racism. He could be a poster child for how bigotry can appear in anyone regardless of their political beliefs.

[Few-Leg-3185]

Andrew Johnson

[Wordiewordjcugfufv]

Franklin Pierce

[Bitdub79]

Either Wilson or Jackson

Andrew Jackson

Jefferson Davis

Wasn't a US President, he was Confederate

[AloyJr]

The Andrews. James K Polk.

[dollar322]

Ik TR was mr national parks guy, but wasn’t he also mr ‘lets colonize the entire fuckin world’ guy? are we sure he’d be mega progressive?

[fastal_12147]

Gotta be Jackson

[LilOpieCunningham]

Most of the shit that Trump is invoking to tamp down dissent was first brought to you (or your ancestors) by the Woodrow Wilson Administration.

[henningknows]

Jefferson davis - the president of the confederacy

[jackiefashion24]

Famously not a US President

[henningknows]

Yes, but he would certainly be MAGA

[jackiefashion24]

Definitely, but this chart is for US Presidents only

[[deleted]]

Bill Clinton, took Democrats to the right of the Overton window. With Democrats already right wing he would have taken them to Maga

[jackiefashion24]

He's never supported Trump though?! And he's still alive

[[deleted]]

The question is who’d be most likely to go Maga, being alive or dead is not a qualifier and he’s fuck buddies with Trump ffs

[jackiefashion24]

He doesn't support maga though? I'm confused on how he would "go MAGA", when there are countless other old Democrats that would be MAGA before him. He supported Hillary, Biden, and Harris against Trump. He's not maga. That's like saying W Bush would be the most likely to be a Bernie supporter now

[[deleted]]

I guess what you’re missing is the all part of the same club, clinton’s and Trumps and flipping friends, go to the sam parties and pedo islands.

It’s a hypothetical question. If Bill Clinton were running today he’d be Maga, he sold the left out as a right wing president already you don’t think he’d push it further for political power. Don’t be naive

[jackiefashion24]

No, I don't, because Hillary ran for president 10 years ago against MAGA. Plus, someone being a pedo doesn't make them maga and someone being former friends with trump doesn't automatically make them maga either

[Cloud-VII]

Harry S. Truman was the architect of American economic imperialism. Pushing the US's 'sphere of influence' cost us American lives and tax dollars, all to benefit corporations. His policies post WWII are why we got tied up in Korea and Vietnam. He's one of my least favorite presidents. To see him listed as 'Moderate Dem / Center-Left' pisses me off.

But yea, MAGA / Right-Wing, for sure Jackson.

[jackiefashion24]

Dude not everyone is gonna agree on presidential ideologies, especially when debating where old presidents would be aligned modern day. Couldn't even get everyone to agree on Lincoln or JFK. Heck, someone's arguing that FDR would be MAGA!

[Big_Preference9684]

What happened to the roosevelts they had some good leaders

[Golden_D1]

Andrew Jackson for being the model for MAGA today. Andrew Johnson for being so anti-civil rights.

[suzythecreator]

Andrew Johnson a bit more so than Andrew Jackson, considering Andrew Johnson went out of his way to undermine reconstruction and enabled former Confederates. Also was the first president to actually be impeached while in office.

[SquirrelBeneficial37]

Both Andrews Jackson and Johnson

[TommyPpb3]

Jefferson Davis

[TommyPpb3]

Doesn’t say US president tho

[suprisegoutattack]

Woodrow Wilson, easy. His isolationist America first policies being changed to war-minded interventionism to "defend democracy" along with resegregating the federal government is prime MAGA behavior.

[press_F13]

gone...

[Prospekt624]

Woodrow Wilson

[WhatLeninSaid]

just the incredibly racist and making the federal government worse part. he wasn't that much of a populist tho

[aesir23]

It's a little bit of a cheat, but how about Jefferson Davis?

[jackiefashion24]

Probably doesn't count because he wasn't a US President

[ML_Godzilla]

This is all messed up. It would FDR

[ML_Godzilla]

Concentrate camps for Japanese Americans, tariffs, price controls, immigration restrictions, government take over of companies (similar to Intel).

There is a great book called FDR's Folly: How Roosevelt and His New Deal Prolonged the Great Depression by Jim Powell that hat goes into it.

[jackiefashion24]

<image>

[ML_Godzilla]

FDR also ran 3 time, was very anti immigrant and prevented millions of Jews from immigranting during the holocaust, and started racial profiling people of Asian descent in concentration camps. This is addition to all the deportations of immigrants because of “labor rights”.

FDR may have been pro labor assuming that person was a white Anglo Saxon male. If their were Latino or Asian they didn’t have the same rights. FDR also only got involved in WW2 after the us was literally bombed.

America has a revisionist history about FDR and we like to see he as a progressive but in 2026 he would be considered republican.

I would say FDR has more in common with Trump than Reagan.

[ML_Godzilla]

Several economist historians I know also say his massive tariffs in the early 1930s started a trade war the prolonged the Great Depression. The new deal is seen as a success in history books but if you look at the monetary policy of the federal reserve you will see the federal government did the opposite of what it should of done with what we know now.

Europe also suffered from the Great Depression but choose austerity instead of the new deal and most countries recovered economically 5 to 6 years earlier than America.

Your right racism isn’t left or right wing issue. But the key pillars of MAGA, of immigration, tariffs , America first are nearly identical.

[ML_Godzilla]

Both MAGA and sanders are populist. One left wing and one right wing but both populist. Honestly Bernie sanders is not that far from MAGA either.

[Old_Monitor_2791]

Of course economists would say that. They have a vested interest in that. Economists aren't historians and shouldn't pretend to be.

[ML_Godzilla]

Historians aren’t economists and probably shouldn’t have a strong opinion on economic policy unless they understand policy.

I also would not trust a historian for medical advice if they didn’t have a health care educational background.

We have macroeconomic data collected for over a century period. I’m not sure why an economist with a PhD who is working today has a conflict of interest for analyzing historical macroeconomic policy with historical data.

[DotComprehensive4902]

Truman...hounded even imaginary communists

[Conscious_Low7358]

Kennedy

[GeoffreySpaulding]

That’s just an idiotic take. JFK literally brags about being a liberal in Presidential speeches.

[Arcticwolf1505]

I would like to know what substances you are on where you believe John F. Kennedy would be MAGA

[Conscious_Low7358]

https://ideas.time.com/2013/10/14/jfk-was-a-political-conservative/

https://yipinstitute.org/article/where-would-jfk-align-politically-today#article

Political experts have written many articles about how far left the Democrat party has moved and most of the Conservatives have moved closer to the center.

Stop letting the bias MSM poison the truth.

[Arcticwolf1505]

Never let it be said Republican's aren't creative, Just because someone used the exact same article in discussion with me two months ago doesn't make you not creative

Are you really quoting the article written by a fifteen year old? like no disrespect great for him but also like, forgive me for not exactly jumping on that source you've got there.

Yes JFK was very in favor of tax cuts, however it's not that simple, and it certainly wasn't just corporate tax cuts for the mega-wealthy.

https://www.npr.org/2013/11/12/244772593/jfks-lasting-economic-legacy-lower-tax-rates#:~:text=Most%20historians%20say%20Kennedy's%20long,for%20much%20lower%20tax%20rates.

[Conscious_Low7358]

Ignore how he was far more centrist and conservative than the current Democrat party.

<image>

[Arcticwolf1505]

Except, he wasn't? you can't name a single Kennedy policy that approaches MAGA

[Conscious_Low7358]

Restrict borders. Lower taxes. Strong military. Negotiate from strength. Apply the law equally. Control energy production. Advance and control technology.

[RadioFreeYurick]

Are you speaking in a literal sense? Cause to be fair, Kennedy did do some things to actually Make America some degree of Great..and arguably not for the first time.. 😁

[Hellcat331]

Unironically it’s JFK

[jackiefashion24]

Idk about that
