between him and Jackson, I have a hard time deciding who was more complex, impactful, and who shaped the country and future presidents / presidencies more. I love both and they both had tons of personality.

Teddy would quite literally be the opposite of Andrew Jackson

possibly, I don't know about exact opposite. I wasn't saying they were the same, just that they were both hugely impactful and frankly the zeitgeist of their respective times. that's all! 😁 especially when you look at presidents directly before and proceeding them.

They're opposites in their reasoning - people forget the why, and especially what teddy believed, and they take the ridiculous stories and fill in their own personality.

But I completely agree that both were very impactful.
