“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.”
— Former President Donald Trump, quoted by HuffPost from the new book I Alone Can Fix It.
…
Former President Donald Trump told the authors of a new book that he believes he would have had a good chance of winning a presidential election against George Washington, even with Abraham Lincoln as Washington’s running mate.
Trump made the outlandish observation as he indicated that his re-election in 2020 was inevitable had it not been for the COVID-19 pandemic — which appears to contradict his comments about a “rigged” election….
…
The twice-impeached former president was recently ranked nearly at the bottom of the pack of America’s presidents — 41st — in a survey of historians across the nation. Abraham Lincoln ranked first, and Washington came in second.
Trump’s favorability polls while he was in office were lackluster at best. His full four-year average of approval in Gallup polls was 41% — four points lower than any other president since polling began, NPR noted…

“We have had so many(referring to candidates and officeholders) ,and so many are coming in(to see him) .Its been pretty amazing .You see the numbers.They need the endorsement.I don’t say this in a braggadocious way(a lie) ,but if they don’t get the endorsement ,they don’t win.(true is most cases).“
Donald Trump,
in an interview with Carol Leonigg and Phillip Rucker for the book “I Alone Can Fix It.”
Again….
This IS about the damn guys ‘EGO’.…
NOT about the Republican Party….
Hw much do you “care” about the Republican Party?
I just want them to keep following Trump off the cliff…..
now, THIS would qualify as a stupid Republican politician:
Rep Andy Biggs
@RepAndyBiggsAZ
Under Joe Biden, enough fentanyl to kill 238 million Americans was seized at the southern border last month.
Where’s the outrage in the media?
Buried?
I am not sure what Biggs is trying to say? Hopefully he just got confused and used a wrong word or two?
The Tweet is still up, 7 hours later, unchanged.
He just must be really, really dumb.
Mine is the first submission that actually fits the category.
Maybe Biggs can join AOC and others in the Squad in the “Defund the DEA” Caucus
Very “Stupid Republican’?
I personally don’t have an opinion on whether current funding for the DEA is too low or too high (as AOL believes), but I can’t imagine any elected official (including AOL) wanting illegal opioids from Mexico to be on the street.
