Donald Trump ranked himself 2nd on a list of most 'presidential' presidents

Even beating George Washington. Only Lincoln "better".

At a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, Tuesday night, President Donald Trump mused on critics who say he doesn't act "presidential" enough.

"It is much easier to act presidential than what we are doing here tonight, believe me," Trump assured his audience. "With the exception of the late, great Abraham Lincoln, I can be more presidential than any president that's ever held this office."

Well then.
Lincoln has frequently been singled out for praise by Trump and used as a point of reference when he is when pondering the impact of his own presidency.

"Great president," Trump said of Lincoln in March of this year. "Most people don't even know he was a Republican. Right? Does anyone know? A lot of people don't know that. We have to build that up a little more."

A year earlier -- in April 2016 -- Trump said this of Lincoln in an interview with the Washington Post: "I can be very presidential. I jokingly say, I can be more presidential than any president that this country has ever had except for Abraham Lincoln, because he was [unclear]. Right? You can't out-top Abraham Lincoln."

"Jokingly." Ahem.

Are we getting desperate?

Apparently Trump is. ;)

And I rank Lincoln at the bottom, so my POV is a bit different.

[dannno]

Why would Trump be desperate? He has momentum right now. Are you even paying attention?

Momentum? Where? He's about to fire Sessions (his strongest supporter), Tillerson is ready to quit, GOP is about to sink their last chance at repealing ACA, and his admin is scandal-ridden.

In much the same manner as a boulder rolling downhill.

You guys need to shut off your tv and stop reading your fake fucking news.

The Trump admin is scandal ridden? Really? Ya, the only scandal the White House is McMaster and his deep state tools leaking and lying, and the Mooch is about to put an end to that. All the other scandals are bullshit fake news. Russia? Really? That is just fucking retarded, pushing that bullshit really doesn't even belong here, we are above that.

Jefferson was a way better president than Trump will ever be.

So in your view, Trump admin is humming along making America great again, huh? lmao.

Did I mention Russia anywhere?

No, Trump and his allies are battling the deep state and we are winning. It's not exactly a blow-out, but it's tipping in our direction. No thanks to you or the other deep state shills.

IS TRUMP LOSING REPUBLICAN SUPPORT? LATEST APPROVAL RATINGS SHOW DROP FROM GOP MEMBERS

President Donald Trump, in the middle of a whirlwind week involving the Republican Party’s infighting over repealing and/or replacing Obamacare, as well as a public feud with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, saw his overall approval ratings and support from GOP party members decline in a poll released Wednesday.

Only just over a third (35.1 percent) of those polled by Reuters approved of Trump’s work in office, with more than half (58.1 percent) disapproving and 4.2 percent expressing “mixed feelings” in the five-day rolling poll. Reuters’ latest results suggest that those who had mixed feelings about Trump have instead moved into the disapproval category. Earlier this week, 8 percent of respondents garnered mixed feelings compared to a 55.7 percent disapproval rating and a 36.3 percent approval.

The poll also showed a recent steady decline of support from Republicans, who, despite Trump’s actions on social media and major legislative inaction, have been staunch supporters during the first six months of his presidency.

On July 15, the billionaire had a 79.9 percent approval rating from GOP members, with 17.3 percent disapproving and 2.7 percent registering mixed feelings. But over the next nine days, Republican support dropped by 6 points to 73.9 percent approving, those who had mixed feelings now disapproved, and the disapproval rating rose to 23 percent.


This represents a new low for Trump among Republicans, who previously registered a 74.3 percent approval during the week of May 14, a controversy-laden time for Trump in the days following his abrupt dismissal of FBI director James Comey because of the Russia investigation.

The public prodding and poking of Sessions—a popular hardline conservative and former Alabama senator with allies in Congress and among the GOP’s law-and-order base—could be a reason for Trump’s decline within his own party.



Could also be TrumpCare.
