Donald Trump Once Again Claims Hes Been Treated Worse Than a President Who Was Very Famously Assassinated – Vanity Fair

There are a few things that most people tend to think of when they think of Abraham Lincoln. The Gettysburg Address, for one. The Civil War, for another. And, of course, the fact that the 16th president of the United States was famously assassinated by actor John Wilkes Booth while taking in a play with his wife. Now, Donald Trump doesnt know a lotbasic English, science, math, and large parts of history, in particular, elude himbut were guessing he does know how Lincoln was killed. Which makes his recent comments about the 16th president pretty bizarre (and yet, still trademark Trump).

Speaking to Mark Levin for an interview that aired Sunday night on Fox News, the ex-president decided, for some reason, to rank US presidents according to who had been treated most unfairly. Was it Andrew Jackson? They said such horrible things [about Andrew Jackson], Trump claimed, failing to note that those horrible things might have to do with Jacksons history of ethnic cleansing. But no, the former guy does not believe Andy J. had it the worst off. How about Lincoln? Trump conceded that Lincoln was vilified as well. But you know what? Lincoln apparently still didnt have it as bad as 45, even despite the the hole someone literally put through his head.

Incredibly, this is not the first time Trump has claimed that Abraham Lincolnwho, again, was shot and killed during a playhad it easy compared to him. In May 2020, when Trump was receiving a mountain of bad press for his handling of the coronavirus, he told Fox Newsduring an interview at the Lincoln Memorial!Im greeted by a hostile press the likes of which no president has ever seen. The closest would be that gentlemen right up there [gestures to the sculpture of a seated Lincoln]. They always said, Lincoln, nobody got treated worse than Lincoln. I believe I am treated worse. Youre there, you see those press conferences, they come at me with questions that are disgraceful, to be honest, disgraceful.

You may not remember the exact questions reporters asked Trump during this time, but you can probably recall that none of them shot him.

Apart from suggesting that Lincolns presidency was a walk in the park compared to his, Trump has also claimed he did more for Black people than the guy who literally freed them from slavery. I think Ive done more for the Black community than any other president, and lets take a pass on Abraham Lincoln, cause he did good, although its always questionable, the former president said back in June 2020. You know, in other words, the end result.
