Once again, Donald Trump is trying to rewrite history, and in the process he’s making one of this nation’s most beloved presidents spin in his grave.
Trump is absolutely obsessed with Abraham Lincoln, a man of such integrity and courage that the current head of state should be afraid to even mention his name for fear lightning will strike him.
And yet, Monday evening during one of his desperation super-spreader rallies in Pennsylvania, Trump once again mused that he’d done more for black people and was more presidential than the man who saved the United States in the midst of a bloody civil war, remarking:
“I’ve done more for the black community than any other president, and I say with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln, and I mean that, with opportunity zones, and with criminal justice reform, with prison reform, with what we’ve done for historically black universities, colleges, schools, what we’ve done. It’s nobody’s done more. Abraham Lincoln, let’s give him the nod, but beyond that, nobody’s done more. I love the black community.
“I can be more presidential than any president ever. Except for the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln when he’s wearing the hat.”

Oh, so now it’s just the hat that’s making Trump a distant second to Honest Abe? What a joke that is! As VoteVets rightly noted:
Trump claims he’s always competed with Abraham Lincoln, but Lincoln was more presidential because he wore a hat.
Yeah. That’s it. The hat. 🙄

How big of an egotistical asshat does a person have to be to even speculate on being as presidential as Abe Lincoln?
Here’s something it’s safe to bet on: If Lincoln was still alive, he’d want nothing to do with a buffoon like Donald Trump. Hell, he’d probably give the Donald his hat if he’d just promise to go away and stop running his mouth.
It’s been said a million times but it bears repeating: VOTE! If you haven’t voted yet — no matter what state you live in — get out and vote when you can. Do it for Abe.
Does this idiot trump think every human around him is as accepting of his lies and bull s…t
Man this bloke has driven me crazy with frustration for 4 years. No More time left for this disgusting gang of thugs to grace our airways please. Hope you are ready for the eruption from this crazy chaotic outfit when it explodes in rages and the aftermath he has planned following the election. Whether he wins or loses the free world will still have to cope with that outburst that The Orange man who in his big brainy mind is President Lincoln reincarnated along with his robotic stand in republicans who have planned since his first day in office. Planning a take over again from day 1. Who is orchestrating his moves? He is clever at what he does but who are the people that win if he is reelected. Not the decent law abiding followers of civility and respect. Not us in the free world. Who also fought and died for freedom for all man. A week away from the beginning of the end of what? Please win Joe You really are our hope for Peace and Reconciliation. Along with the only hope for a better world without this scandal ridden repulsive gang of thugs and creeps.
