I'm not upset. But I think Democrats are upset because a jackass is their political symbol.
But since your grasp of U.S. political symbols doesn't really matter to you, it's a moot point who you call a jackass.
Interesting you should call the most powerful politician in the entire world who won the presidency twice an animal who is labeled as
"If you call someone a jackass, you mean they are very stupid or they have done something very stupid."
What has Trump done that you would call stupid?
A connection with Democrats
In 1828, Andrew Jackson ran for president as the candidate of the new
Democratic Party, which had been created from splintered factions of the Democratic-Republican Party.
Jackson, the blunt-spoken backwoodsman and war hero, was
widely criticized as a “jackass” for advocating populist reforms.
He responded by using the image of the jackass
on his campaign posters.
“Jackson embraced the image as the symbol of his campaign,”
Jimmy Stamp wrote in Smithsonian magazine, “rebranding the donkey as steadfast, determined, and willful, instead of wrong-headed, slow, and obstinate.”
Jackson won the election, and the jackass first became associated with Jackson and the Democratic Party.
More than 40 years later, after the Civil War, a political cartoon really popularized the image of the jackass as the symbol of the Democratic Party.
