Can you spell DELUSIONAL? This guy needs to be taken out in a straight jacket.

Donald Trump has serious beef with every living former president. While the Bidens, Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas have made a big show of their post–White House chumminess, Trump’s vicious smears and elaborate conspiracy theories against his predecessors have left him excluded from the ex-presidents club. This isn’t all that surprising; Trump’s not one to put aside a good vendetta for the sake of national unity. What is remarkable, though, is that throughout his presidency, Trump has also been actively feuding with Abraham Lincoln.

This rivalry is obviously one-sided, as the 16th president has been dead for 161 years and is better than Trump by just about every measure. That actually seems to be the root of it: In Trump’s mind, Lincoln remains the one obvious exception to his claims of being the greatest president of all time.

Trump talks about Lincoln like he’s a Republican frenemy who might dare to challenge him in the next election, not a long-dead, widely revered historical figure. Though the current president often makes a show of paying homage to “Honest Abe,” Trump regularly lashes out at him too. Trump has disparaged Lincoln’s (nonexistent) poll numbers, downplayed the importance of the 13th Amendment, and blasted his predecessor for not using Art of the Deal tactics to prevent the Civil War.

Here’s a guide to all of Trump’s bizarre attempts to subtly take down the “Great Unifier”: https://nymag.visitlink.me/yuD_wz

Krasnov is really earning his keep lately.

Once you realize he works for Russia, not America, everything he does makes sense.

This guy is completely delusional. You think he’s going to accept the devastating results of the upcoming midterms??
Make it EMPHATIC
Vote DEMOCRATIC.
Then gird your loins. Get ready to stand strong for the America we love.

Trump’s subservience to Putin is all but complete. He has betrayed our allies once again and again aided the monstrous russian dictator. WHY??

Doing so does not advance American interests or values.

My father, Giulio, came here after fighting the fascists in Italy to start a new life and family. He married my mother, Virginia, daughter of Italian immigrants, in an arranged marriage in the then-tight knit Italian-American community in the Detroit area. The ceremony actually took place in Windsor.
I have two beloved sisters, an amazing wife, two beautiful daughters and four wonderful grandchildren and up to now a wonderful life here in the America of hopes, dreams and freedom that drew my forbears from Italy.
“Liberty and Justice for ALL.” We recited the pledge every day at St. Benedict School before we even knew what it meant. But the more I learned about the American Revolution and America’s long struggle to expand the franchise of LIBERTY the more I beleived in the mission. I was honored to serve my community and state in a variety of elected posts, always beginning with an oath to our precious Constitution. Think of it, all our elected officials in government at every level - local, state and federal - and each member of our military - from private to general - swear their allegiance to this vital document rather than to any individual. What an amazing, beautiful idea. An idea that has held up for 250 years.
Now some say America’s 250-year run with democracy is coming to its end. Some say democracy is just too difficult with so many people. Others say technology makes democracy out-dated and analogue - the computers know better and can run things for us - or at least for the people at the top.
I suggest we’d all do well to re-read the beautiful words of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Take a moment to marvel at the daring and audacity of the Founders. They lived in difficult times but dared to strive for something different, something better, something unfathomable to most. “A republic, if you can keep it.”
I was gifted a wonderful life filled with enormous possibilities in one of the greatest nations on earth. I intend to fight like hell to do the same for my children and grandchildren.
“I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.”

It was just one more of many examples of the president mirroring a fascist leadership.
