Andrew Jackson publicly fostered a policy of extermination (Kaltreider p. 83 ebook), committed genocide, and his philosophy inspires white nationalist groups (including Qanon) to make room for the whites today. Let’s hear what David Stannard in American Holocaust teaches about smallpox infected blankets on pgs. 385 — 386.
Smallpox blankets as a method for to exterminating Indians was not as widespread (or as effective) as popularly believed, it was an occasional practice, and as such it marked “a milestone of sorts” in military history, writes Robert O’Connell: “While infected carcasses had long been capitulated into besieged cities, this seems to be a first time in the known weakness in the immunity structure of an adversary population was deliberately exploited with a weapons response.” O’Connell, Of Arms and Men, p.171.
Continuing.
For an eighteenth-century example of the deliberate use of smallpox as a weapon “to extirpate [the] exorable race” of Indians — an example that killed large numbers of Delaware, Mingo, and Shawnee people — see E. Wagner Stearn and Allen E. Stearn, The Effect of Smallpox on the Destiny of the Amerindian (Boston: Humphries, 1945), pp. 44-45
And finally on pg. 291.
Lopez has noted, this was far from a single-incident comparison. So alike did Indians and wolves appear to even the earliest land-hungry New England colonist that the colonist “fell to dealing with them in similar ways”:
He set out poisoned meat for the wolf and gave the
Indian blankets infected with smallpox. He raided the
wolf’s den to dig out and destroy the pups,
and stole the Indian’s children.

During the course of four centuries - from the 1490s to the 1890s - Europeans and white Americans engaged in an unbroken string of genocide campaigns against the native peoples of the Americas.
p155
And Andrew Jackson, who said “the whole Cherokee Nation ought to be scourged” had led troops against peaceful Indian encampments, calling the Indians “savage dogs,” and boasting that “I have on all occasions preserved the scalps of my killed.” The same Andrew Jackson who had supervised the mutilation of 800 or so Creek Indian Corpses — the bodies of men, women, and children that he and his men had massacred — cutting off their noses to count and preserve a record of the dead, slicing long strips of flesh from their bodies to tan and turn into bridle reins. The same Andrew Jackson who — after his presidency was over — still was recommending that American troops specifically kill Indian women and children who were in hiding, in order to complete their extermination: to do otherwise, he wrote, was equivalent to pursuing “a wolf in the hamocks without first knowing where her den and pups were.”
We are not “wolves” today, but Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country,
Then
(Bold mine)
Andrew Jackson's Speech to Congress on Indian Removal
The present policy of the Government is but a continuation of the same progressive change by a milder process. The tribes which occupied the countries now constituting the Eastern States were annihilated or have melted away to make room for the whites.
Now
We pledge to you that we will root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country,
Donald Trump emulates Jackson’s and Hitler’s dehumanization; for instance, Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin. He would go there.

Once people were in the internment camps.
Trump is openly planning to build a vast network of internment facilities, while railing against “internal threats” and calling his enemies “vermin” and vowing to “root them out.” The warning signs of fascism have never been more obvious or alarming.
All he’d have to use is a modern form of smallpox blankets.
Biological agents like anthrax, botulinum toxin and plague can pose a difficult public health challenge causing large numbers of deaths in a short amount of time. Biological agents which are capable of secondary transmission can lead to epidemics. An attack involving a biological agent may mimic a natural event, which may complicate the public health assessment and response.
Tr*mp idealizes one of Hitler’s most influential forbearers.
INTRODUCTION
Most Americans would be shocked to learn that in the 1920s and 1930s Adolf Hitler and Nazi scholars, lawyers, and officials were studying United States law while developing Germany’s policies and laws concerning Jews and the conquest of Eastern Europe. Most Americans would also be surprised that, as the leaders of the Third Reich were turning racist ideas into official German policies, Nazis were carefully studying United States federal Indian law and state laws that discriminated against Indian nations and American Indians.
He just never put Hitler’s portrait up on the wall.
“Well, Hitler did a lot of good things,” Trump told Kelly during a 2018 visit to Europe to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, according to the book.
