        I'm reading about Lincoln in your book now. He wasn't a saint, but a man trying to do the right thing, sometimes in the wrong way. Trump on the other hand tries to do the wrong thing as long as his base cheers him on.

        "In a category of his own" In the future, let's hope there is only one American president in that category. We must never add to it. We must never go backward again. I consider him the #WorstPresidentEver for doing everything in his power to hurt and divide Americans.

        The Brooklyn Eagle, suggested #Lincoln deserved "the deepest disgrace that the crushing indignation of a whole people can inflict." Known by his got-up nickname "The Railsplitter," Lincoln won the 1860 election with 39.8 percent of the popular vote. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/evidence-unpopular-mr-lincoln … #tRump

        Comparing Presidential Election 2008 with 2016 -- Hillary Clinton got almost 3 million more popular votes than Donald Trump; but, she got almost 3.5 million fewer votes than Barack Obama in 2008. Trump got 6.5 million fewer votes than Obama. pic.twitter.com/dr5F5jkF0n

        Being at the bottom of the barrel in comparison to former presidents fits POTUS exactly. It brings more distress to citizens who value honesty, integrity, mental stability, preparedness for the position as President, knowledge of US history & common civility.

        An American President being derelict in his duties is unsatisfactory.

        There lies the problem basic Civics and History are either brushed over, rewritten or eliminated from many curriculums. And although the quote from Santayana has been paraphrased to infinity "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it" it is never more timely.

        Not necessarily a fun read, but very sober and on the mark (as usual Mr. Beschloss). I look forward to reading your book soon (hopefully). Thank you.
