    “like Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, Trump has done great things for the country despite being under constant assault:

    “When I think of Donald Trump, I do think of Reagan and Lincoln: they had different challenges, but they were strong men. And, despite attack after attack after attack, they not only withstood the attacks, they did great things for this country.”

    When he first came into office, Trump had no idea he would be attacked so viciously and relentlessly, but he fights on for America and its values”

    Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln were two of our greatest Presidents. Donald Trump in my opinion has earned being considered in that awesome category. He has withstood so many attacks from enemies domestic and foreign and has stood tall for the American people and putting America First!

    Donald Trump has stood up for the average American against the bi coastal limousine liberal urban elites and preserved individual, economic, and religious liberty for all.

    Oh of course, the KKK is today a force to be reckoned with, it rivals the Left Wing Media. Give me a break!

    Trump is not anywhere close to those presidents. And that's even considering that I think Reagan is a bit overhyped in the first place.

    Trump's entire term so far has been nothing but The Trump Show. Every so often he manages to do something good, but mostly this has just been self-serving nonsense combined with ineffective leadership, absolutely constant avoidance of responsibility, and worldwide embarrassment because of the rube we chose to lead our great country.

    Well, Trump does have a construction company. I would not put it pass him with his narcissistic ego to chisel his face on the side of a mountain someday and call it Mt. Trumpmore.

    I guess you can look at it this way - Lincoln's election split the country into a bloody civil war that ended up costing 650,000 Americans their lives, and during the Reagan years, the National Debt rose 170% ... so maybe there are some similarities ...

    Just one very small point.....had the China virus hit us in Obama's economy.....we would be ripe for a mandated Socialist takeover. Not so when we were at our peak of strength thanks to this administration. Just watch.....China will pay. Japan, Germany and Australia are working toward that end already. We haven't finalized compiling our costs!

    Yet you pretend to denounce the evils of slavery and condemn America for ever practicing it. Well which is it Daniel? You condemn Lincoln? Reagan freed East Germany...."Mr gorbachev, tear down this wall!" and he did it against the sentiments you seem to possess. You do the same thing with President Trump, there is no denying. Just can't win with you due to your deep seated hate.

    We did have a nasty virus (H1N1) hit us during the Obama recovery, and instead of people lining up to buy toilet paper and guns, we had calm and we faced the disease and went on ... that's the difference when you have a calm and serene guy in the Oval Office vs a Drama Queen. Elect a clown and you get a circus - and what a circus it's been for the last three years.

    "Conservatives": complain about "snowflakes" while enshrining one of the most fragile snowflakes in the country and throwing a fit any time he faces any kind of criticism.

    Every civilized country in the world was able to abolish slavery without violent civil war - except the U.S. While I think
    Lincoln was an excellent speech giver, and rose to the occasion AFTER the war - he was terrible at negotiating a peaceful
    solution to ending slavery. Unlike you, I can see muti-dimensional facets of a President - it isn't just A or B - it can be A and B.

    When I think of Trump, Buchanan, Harding, and Hoover come to mind. I believe once his administration’s history is written he’ll find his place among them.

    For whatever reason (ideological, personal) slow to identify issues and act, corrupt use of power, incompetent.

    Abraham Lincoln was an animal. A tyrant, dictator and butcher of the worst kind who engaged in a war murdering hundreds of thousands of his own countrymen in a quest to consolidate power to the federal government under the guise of freedom.

    He is the single worst president our country has ever seen.

    Yeah, people died of H1N1 and they didn't want to shut down the economy because establishment wanted to re elect Obama. He danced to their tune. In this case, you have a media and establishment that are at their wits end as to how to get rid of Trump. Many, like Bill Mahr said he hoped the economy would fail. What a good way to make the economy fail all the while claiming "we saved people". We lost the half black clown 3+ years ago. He didn't replenish our masks and ventilators. The left and the media are the ones that promote the hysteria.

    Don't expect too many blacks in the south hold that viewpoint.

    We did. That’s why that tyrannical dictator got shot in the head. A little too late but he got exactly what he deserved.

    It is. With that being said, the idea that he was a great president is a northern viewpoint and one that has been propped up by lies and northern propaganda for over 150 years.

    Given that they represent 13% of our total population and they commit 50% of our total murder and 33% of our total rape as well as being overrepresented in EVERY violent crime that we keep track of... I don’t particularly care what they think.

    The results of Lincoln’s war against his own people has been a complete and total failure. Would you like to examine the consequences of doing so? I assure you that you don’t.

    By the way Lincoln didn’t care about blacks one iota. His plan was actually to ship them back because he didn’t believe blacks and whites could live peaceably beside one another. He was just as racist against blacks as everyone else was. But he knew he could use them as propaganda in politics and then meat shields in battle.

    I present to you “The Great Emancipator” Abraham Lincoln in his own words:

    “I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.”


    “I have never had the least apprehension that I or my friends would marry negroes if there was no law to keep them from it, but as Judge Douglas and his friends seem to be in great apprehension that they might, if there were no law to keep them from it, I give him the most solemn pledge that I will to the very last stand by the law of this State, which forbids the marrying of white people with negroes.”


    “There is a natural disgust in the minds of nearly all white people to the idea of indiscriminate amalgamation of the white and black races … A separation of the races is the only perfect preventive of amalgamation, but as an immediate separation is impossible, the next best thing is to keep them apart where they are not already together. If white and black people never get together in Kansas, they will never mix blood in Kansas…”


    “Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man.”

    Anybody who believes this man freed the slaves for their own good and not as propaganda is delusional.

    As Charles Dickens said, ““The Northern onslaught against Southern slavery is a specious piece of humbug designed to mask their desire for the economic control of the Southern states.”

    John Wilkes Booth got exactly what he deserved only there is no memorial for him.
