Donald Trump told journalists that he believed he could beat George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in an election.
"I think it would be hard if George Washington came back from the dead and he chose Abraham Lincoln as his vice-president, I think it would have been very hard for them to beat me," Trump told Washington Post journalists Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig.
Rucker and Leonnig recounted the comment in their new book about Trump, "I Alone Can Fix It," according to a review by The Guardian.
Lincoln and Washington are often ranked by historians as the two greatest presidents in US history.

(47,842 posts)he is trying to convince himself more than everyone else. Terribly insecure, Trump spent a lifetime trying to shut out all the voices that told him what an ignorant loser he was. On some level, he knows it is true, so he just talks louder making more outrageous claims.

What a fucked-up mind! Every time he spouts off his braggadocio, I think about that old cartoon with the plumber holding a plunger, looking at the toilet, and saying, "Aw, man, this shit ain't gonna go!"

Putin is the leader of the plot and it's sadly going well for him, right wing authoritarianism is spreading over the world very fast.

The MAGAs would rally against them en mass with Trump nicknames like "Stinkin' Lincoln" and "Little Georgie Porgie"..

Dearest Martha,
As we await boarding at Dulles I have found one of my soldiers who likes to be called "THE DONALD" has contracted the bone spur and has decided to fly standby. I am most certain we will not see him in battle.
All my love, George

But then again, as pointed out above, he couldn't even beat Joe who was asleep in his basement during the campaign.
