Trump tells reporters that he would have beaten an undead George Washington-Abraham Lincoln ticket

The Guardian has written up a review of a new book by Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, and the paper reveals that Trump thought so highly of himself that he believed he would have beaten George Washington and Abraham Lincoln if they ran for president in 2020.

"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," Trump told them, according to the Guardian.

Despite Trump's confidence in his abilities, he twice lost the popular vote to Democratic opponents, while soundly losing the electoral college vote to President Joe Biden in 2020 by 74 electoral votes.

5 years of headline grabbing trump burps and farts...they need him like a junkie needs a fix...they know he's a depraved lunatic but goddamn he was great for their company's bottom line...and then there was the trump personal insult which pretty much guaranteed the "reporter" a Morning Joe guest appearance....at some point these media stars need to check into a media rehab clinic and start the Trump withdrawal process but they aren't quite there yet....

It’s like saying a junior high basketball team could beat an NBA or even a WNBA team.

He’s delusional on top of everything else that is wrong with him, he’s a joke.

My Trumphumper SIL will be thrilled to see photographic evidence that supports her alternate reality.

Just as he promotes the small "crimes" he has done, instead of the large ones. Such as paying tuition for children of employees and family, donating cars and apartments, etc. If everybody just talks about the "small" stuff, it doesn't look so bad.
