That reminds me of a very funny story which is also a similarity with Trump.
When Andrew Jackson was elected president they interviewed a woman from a town he lived in as a young man. She was shocked --'Andrew Jackson? The Andrew Jackson that lived here? He is president? He was a rake. Wow, I guess that means anyone can be president.' I paraphrase but that was the sentiment.
