Former president and present Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump excels at self-pity, and nothing demonstrated that greater than when he introduced that he had been handled worse than Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated.
“You know, in history, they say the president that was treated the worst was Abraham Lincoln. But he had the…little Civil War going…I haven’t seen the new list. But if I’m not number one over Abraham Lincoln I will be very disappointed.”

The sixteenth president of the US, President Lincoln, was shot within the head by a Accomplice sympathizer whereas at Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C., on the night of April 14, 1865.
That’s nearly like being discovered chargeable for sexual assault and fraud and dealing with 91 felony expenses and inciting an revolt in opposition to your individual nation, besides… NOT.
Donald Trump works in opposition to the US, whereas Lincoln labored for it. Lincoln was murdered for his efforts to battle off folks like Trump, who wished a Civil Conflict over their perception that they had been entitled to maintain human beings as slaves.
Nothing demonstrates Trump’s lack of real take care of the U.S. greater than his assaults concerning the border, as he strong-armed Republicans into scuttling an precise coverage to cope with the border.
Donald Trump didn’t even have success with the border whereas president, apart from the assistance he acquired from the Covid pandemic shutting down the border. When that short-term measure expired in Might of 2023, the Biden administration warned that they wanted extra funds to cope with the anticipated surge.
Guess who refused to give them that money? That’s right. Republicans.
The border issues stem from elements completely unrelated to willingness to deal with it. President Biden desires to cope with it, he simply desires to cope with it humanely and it prices cash to vet folks, to ship individuals who crossed illegally again, to course of folks — all of it prices cash.
Republicans would relatively “shoot” migrants, put up inhumane razor wire that has sliced and or ensnared a pregnant girl and youngsters, and separate households as a matter of coverage — all measures they declare will punish and deter migrants making an attempt to cross into the U.S.
In fact, these issues don’t work, as a result of the folks coming listed here are fleeing circumstances unfathomable to uneducated People.
Donald Trump has not been assassinated for being a very good president, like Lincoln was. Donald Trump will not be president proper now. Donald Trump is – lastly – being held accountable for a scant few of his actions and he’s hollering like a responsible one that feels they’re above the regulation.
Donald Trump is a person comprised of self-pity and ego fragility. He merely can’t deal with being challenged and he can’t deal with shedding. He’s so incapable of dealing with shedding like a grown up that he incited what FBI Director Wray known as an act of home terrorism in opposition to his personal nation in an effort to cease the certification of the 2020 election that he misplaced.
Now he’s publicly moaning that he ought to get the Greatest Sufferer prize and his supporters cheered and laughed, regardless that they’ve spent years mocking anybody with emotions and compassion as snowflakes.
Donald Trump is not any sufferer. He simply doesn’t like being handled like a grown man who is anticipated to observe the regulation.
