In which Grant directed General Meade to oversee that was the turning point so to speak, of the Civil War. The 3 day battle drove Lee's forces back, culminating in the defeat of Pickett.

I have toured that battlefield, spoken with re-enactors, been to the cemetery where Lincoln gave his speech in November of 1863.

But given Trump's narcissistic belief that he's as great as Lincoln, if only Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day Lewis could reunite with some of the crew of Lincoln to create a mock scene and turn it into an anti-Trump ad. A lot of makeup artists, costume and set designers are out of work.

We can dream, can't we?

Despite MASSIVE catcalls and groans, It would continue on...

"And you see that Lincoln only had 4 scores...and Trump has 7 of them, and really, I hear its more like 8 score for Trump, so close to that 8th score that we will see very, very soon...and Lincoln was less than half way to a 5th...so I am like 2 time, 2 times Abe...honest Abe, great republican that not many people even know was a Republican, and Trump is doubling him up in the numbers..."

Such a national embarrassment and global laughing stock...if it weren't for the nearly 165,000 dead to date and likely to be 250,000 dead by November 3rd, we might just laugh at his sad little ego issues and narcissism.

But alas, there are too many dead, too many dying, too many in despair and soon to be utterly destitute for this to go on so much as 1 second longer than it must.
