According to Slate, “A majority of Republicans say Donald Trump is a better president than Abraham Lincoln.” According to a new Economist/YouGov poll, 53 percent of Republicans say Trump is a better president than Lincoln.” When I read this, I nearly soiled myself and I wondered how this could be true. As a thought exercise, I made a template to compare these two men, and here’s what I came up with. In fairness, it’s a mistake to write a sitting president’s legacy, and Lincoln didn’t have the media scrutiny that Trump does, though Trump openly courts controversy in the press. Do Republicans truly know Lincoln’s legacy?
