Trump Will Visit Andrew Jackson’s Grave in Nashville

President Donald J. Trump’s admiration for Andrew Jackson is well known. He hung his portrait in the Oval Office, and last spring criticized the Treasury Department’s decision to take Jackson off the front of the $20 bill.

“I think Andrew Jackson had a great history, and I think it’s very rough when you take somebody off the bill,” Mr. Trump said.

On Wednesday, Mr. Trump will pay more direct tribute to his snowy-maned predecessor, when he is set to lay a wreath at Jackson’s tomb at the Hermitage, Jackson’s home in Nashville, in honor of the former president’s 250th birthday, before holding a rally in the city’s municipal auditorium.
