In his second term, Trump should look to Teddy Roosevelt

Current presidents always stand in comparison to past presidents. Former president and now President-elect Donald Trump is no different. Trump, for example, is the new Grover Cleveland. With his win on Nov. 5, Trump joined Cleveland as the only other man to win two nonconsecutive presidential elections.

Many pundits also have compared Trump to President Andrew Jackson. Jackson was the original populist, mocked as uncouth and the leader of a rabble but deeply successful both electorally and in his policy objectives. Trump himself thought the comparison appropriate, placing a picture of Jackson in the Oval Office.
