Based on the provided search results, an “America First Populist” is not a specific historical figure or movement. However, we can draw connections between the concepts of populism, nationalism, and Andrew Jackson’s presidency.

Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States (1829-1837), is often considered the first “outsider” president and a precursor to modern populism. His presidency was marked by a strong emphasis on states’ rights, limited government, and a focus on the common man.

The search results highlight Jackson’s populist appeal, particularly his ability to tap into the frustrations of rural Americans and his anti-establishment rhetoric. Jackson’s supporters saw him as a champion of the common people, opposed to the “elite” and the “corrupt” government in Washington.

In the context of modern American politics, the term “America First” is often associated with isolationism and protectionism, as well as a strong emphasis on national sovereignty and security. While there is no direct connection between Andrew Jackson and the modern “America First” movement, we can draw parallels between Jackson’s populist appeal and the modern movement’s emphasis on anti-establishment sentiment and a focus on the interests of the American people.

In summary, an “America First Populist” would likely be someone who combines elements of Jackson’s populist appeal with modern nationalist and protectionist sentiments, emphasizing the importance of American sovereignty, security, and economic interests. This individual would likely be critical of what they perceive as elitist or corrupt institutions and would seek to empower ordinary Americans through policies that prioritize their needs and values.

Key characteristics:

Anti-establishment sentiment: Criticism of perceived elitist or corrupt institutions.
Nationalist and protectionist leanings: Emphasis on American sovereignty, security, and economic interests.
Populist appeal: Focus on empowering ordinary Americans and addressing their concerns.
Limited government: Support for reduced government intervention in the economy and society.
States’ rights emphasis: Respect for the authority of individual states and local communities.
Notable examples:

Andrew Jackson (1829-1837): Considered the first “outsider” president and a precursor to modern populism.
Donald Trump (2017-2021): Often associated with the “America First” movement, emphasizing nationalism, protectionism, and anti-establishment rhetoric.
Please note that these characteristics and examples are inferred from the provided search results and may not represent a comprehensive or definitive understanding of an “America First Populist.”

But he's on the $20 billFor now.

I try to not judge people from back then too harshly because I wasn't there. Different times, different set of rules. However, by most accounts, he was a straight up dick as a person. Not surprisingly, I've always thought the same of Trump and I'm going back to the 80s when all his cronies were Dems.
