"They always said nobody got treated worse than Lincoln. I believe I am treated worse." Trump

"I am greeted with a hostile press the likes of which no president has ever seen," Trump said at the Fox News town hall Sunday night.

"The closest would be that gentleman right up there," Trump said, pointing to the 16th President's statue. "They always said nobody got treated worse than Lincoln. I believe I am treated worse."

Trump was speaking at the time of a widening divide between states that are opening economies and others that are warning of premature declarations of victory amid soaring tensions fomented by weeks of coronavirus lockdowns.

His statement was classic Trump, not just in his audacity of comparing himself to the man many historians rate as the greatest president, but in his tendency to make every issue -- even in the midst of a national tragedy in which tens of thousands of Americans have died -- about himself.

1. What does the imbecile expect? Behave like an idiot get treated like one

2. Lincoln was Shot And Killed, Idiotrump.. there's a reason

for people saying that about President Abraham Lincoln.

You are nothing trump... you don't even try. You are your own worst enemy.

3. Oh really? Care to see a play, Mr. Trump?

If ONLY you were treated as badly as President Lincoln, we would all be a lot better off.

How dare you compare yourself to one of the greatest presidents in history. You aren't fit to lick his boots. You are not a fraction of the man that Lincoln was and it is insulting that you see yourself fit to compare yourself to him in any way, shape or form.

That's much too classy for him.

You are an Ignorant Arrogant Asshole...who probably has someone tie your shoes for you.

[Scarsdale]

10. Somebody HAS to,

he can't reach over that big belly of his. How can these reporters sit there with a straight face, while he spews this B.S? He has caused thousands of deaths, illness, bankruptcies from job losses, foreclosures, lines of citizens waiting for food, and HE thinks he is treated badly? YOU should have done your damn job ASSHOLE. This pandemic never would have been this bad, if you had read the warnings, and done what any other president would have done - protect this country. YOU are responsible for the tragedy that is happening right now in the US. Golf and rallies are only part of the job, the rest has been completely ignored by YOU, IDIOT. The gop has to be held responsible for this disaster of a so-called president, too. They all need to go, let the adults take over to clean up this ungodly mess.
