Do you think that he knows what happened to Lincoln?

Nicole Wallace asked her guest (Trump said that he is being treated worse )

Oh, was the reply, he probably saw the movie, at least the trailer

Would be funny if it were not so aggravating.

right in the center of Washington. And he's on the money. And they named a city after him, a great city, Lincoln Nebraska - they love me there. And logs - he had the best logs. (you have to imagine him saying this in that annoying sing-song.)


No, I don't think he knows much if anything about Lincoln, his policies and how they evolved, or the aftermath of the Civil War.
