    For the uninformed, he was a civil rights activist.

    Does that mean Trump's going to trash him now that he died?


    Trump actually had exceptionally kind things to say about him,

    "He was a good man, with lots of personality, grit, and 'street smarts,'" Mr. Trump wrote. "He was very gregarious - Someone who truly loved people! Despite the fact that I am falsely and consistently called a Racist by the Scoundrels and Lunatics on the Radical Left, Democrats ALL, it was always my pleasure to help Jesse along the way."

    The president listed policies enacted during his two administrations that he said Jackson supported, including criminal justice reform, more funding for historically Black colleges and universities, and "Opportunity Zones," which are tax incentives that aim to spur economic development in low-income areas and were created through the 2017 tax reform legislation.

    "Jesse was a force of nature like few others before him," Mr. Trump
    said, adding that Jackson "loved his family greatly, and to them I send
    my deepest sympathies and condolences. Jesse will be missed!"
