        Lincoln: “The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do for themselves in their separate, and individual capacities” Trump: “You know, the windmills, boom, boom, boom, bing”

        🌊In The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions:. Lincoln foretold dump and the GOP's treason (he even uses the word 'trump' in the next to last paragraph) and tells us that WE are the ones who we are waiting for! 🌊

        Every Republican should be ashamed by the contrast between Lincoln and that oaf in the WH today.

        He saw America through the tragedy that was the Civil War. It was a bleak, cruel time; but he was a true leader. I think he would be saddened to see what has happened to our country under Trump. Trump makes a mockery of what Lincoln stood for.
