Former President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he was treated worse than any president, including the assassinated Abraham Lincoln.
Trump sat down for an interview on Fox News where he repeated the same sort of baseless victimization that we’ve seen in other interviews and his posts on social media.
But it was his bizarre comparison to President Lincoln and weird insistence that he’s been treated worse than a guy who was famously assassinated days after the end of the Civil War that freed slaves that caught the attention of the internet.
“Abraham Lincoln, they say, was, you know, he had a civil war going on. All right. But Abraham Lincoln had was just vilified. He was. But now they say Trump got treated the worst of all because what they did is they came up with phony stuff Russia, Russia, Russia. It was all hoaxes, the Mueller witch hunt, which turned out to be no collusion,” Trump told Levin.
“You know, after two and a half years, no collusion. I could have told them that the first day and they had the laptop. They could have figured that out, because on the laptop, if you look at it, you could have figured that out easy.”
Trump then bragged about being the most successful president in history citing the “Space Force.”
“But there’s never been anything. Despite that. People are saying it was one of the most successful presidencies in history, and I believe it was again, we built the greatest economy ever. We’ll do it again. We built we did things rebuilding the United States military. I rebuilt it and then we ended Space Force. We ended the force. We added a branch of the military hasn’t been done in 80 years since Air Force and Space Force is turning out to be one of the most. It’ll turn out to be one of the most important. You know, we were being left by Russia and China because we weren’t doing anything in space and spaces where it’s going to be at now,” Trump said.
