The pictures in that article are just Tommy Lee Jones portraying him in a movie, right?!

My head canon now is that they are related, "Johnson" became "Jones" over the years.

Was he like the old time Andrew Tate?

Worse - Andrew Johnson was the president who succeeded Abraham Lincoln, and proceeded to back the defeated South's desire to reclaim the US as a "white man's nation" against the wishes of the Radical Republicans in office. And, for that matter, against the wishes of even the moderate Republicans at the time (at least insofar as backing the South was concerned), though they were less outspoken about it.
