Example:
Andrew Jackson is probably upset the Native Americans didn’t get fully genocided. Oh and he is pissed he is on the twenty dollar bill because he was the OG federal reserve hater.

Nope. Jackson was old and feeble and required someone to walk him to and from the funeral. The crowd, including Davey Crockett, restrained the assassin, who was found not guilty because he had incredible delusions. Jackson himself, old and confused, immediately claimed it was the political opposition come to get him and waved his walking stick around trying to hit the already-subdued man.
Jackson was a cruel racist settler colonist who only punched down. He was not personally particularly physically threatening and most of his “deeds” were done after age 45. The idea that Jackson was at all physically imposing is just Americans making things up because they have no respectable history. And those myths became rumors and common knowledge and then get repeated with veneration - e.g. I would suspect your knowledge of the cheese wheel comes, in some way or another, from a West Wing episode.
Don’t worry, I have no love for the guy. He is just an entertaining person from history to learn about. I mean how many people can say they almost permanently damaged the White House with cheese?
