According to the author, the major difference between Jackson and Trump's victory is that

Trump actually won the popular vote, unlike Jackson or Clinton.

Jackson actually brought new voters to politics whereas Trump actively tried to keep certain voters out of politics.

Trump received more votes than any Republican candidate in history, including Jackson and Bush.

while Jackson used conspiracy theories to explain away his loss in 1824, Trump gracefully accepted his political losses.
