Jackson promised to end the central bank as its sworn enemy, and succeeded! Nicholas Biddle, president of the money-printing "Second Bank of the United States", knew the then-cabal's number would be up and (unlike today) it had no backup method to quick liquidity if the bank's charter ended without renewal. So there was no alternative but for Biddle and his minions to defame and fight Jackson at every turn. When the cabal got the upper hand in the 20th century, they ridiculed Jackson by putting him on the "twenty-dollar" central banking note or "FRN".

Add: Jackson indeed was shot at by two point-blank pistols which both misfired. He walked away unscathed marveling at God's providential protection of his person. It is true that after his departure from office the bank's leftover sway was able to create the Panic of 1837, just as the War of 1812 followed the expiry of the First Bank. That should've signaled us. This time we might have enough guts and brains to prevent major trauma after the fact.
