Donald Trump would like you to know he’s been treated unfairly. Donald Trump is asking for you to care. He says he is a victim. People mistreat him, and the poor little victim howls at the indignity. He’s not a bad man. Actually, Trump claims he’s a pretty good guy.

Donald Trump would like for you to know he’s not guilty! He’s not guilty of ANYTHING we accuse him of. In fact, Donald John Trump is the most abused, poorly treated former president EVER. Actually he may just be the worst-treated HUMAN BEING ever.

Why, he muses, do people treat me this way? I’m such a loving and giving guy! In fact, Trump claimed over the weekend even Abraham Lincoln didn’t have it as bad as he does! Poor baby. “They always said, Lincoln. Nobody got treated worse than Lincoln. I believe I am treated worse.”

I’m sorry, readers. I am so profoundly sorrowful that we suffered this absolute moron in the White House for four years. Is Trump aware of the fact that Lincoln was assassinated? After all, Donald Trump is not a student of history. Perhaps he doesn’t know.

No. I think he knows and doesn’t care. Actually, it doesn’t matter. The grandiosity in that statement is so telling. And I usually do not quote Trump anymore, but this was such a jaw-dropping statement that I felt I had no choice.

Abraham Lincoln would not have liked Donald Trump. There are many a magnificent person of history who would have despised Trump. But this is a study in contrasts. Because Lincoln was everything Donald Trump is not and perhaps that is the REAL reason Trump made that comment.

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” That is a quote from Lincoln. He was very passionate about freedom. Donald Trump is passionate about freedom, too — in taking freedom away.

Where Lincoln was wise, Trump is stupid. Where Lincoln loved freedom, Trump is an insurrectionist. Where Lincoln was humble, Trump’s ego won’t shut up. Both men were our Presidents. But only one is a shining light of history — one of our biggest — and that is Lincoln.

Trump, too, shall shine. He shall shine as more indictments come down. He will shine in court as he battles yet more criminal charges. And hopefully, he will shine in orange — an orange jumpsuit, the perfect way to remember the biggest American traitor this country’s ever seen.
