November 23, 2021: Abraham Lincoln, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump

11/23/21: Has anyone besides Mr. Blogger noticed that Biden’s poll numbers are in the tank – but he hasn’t called the numbers “rigged” yet? 

Well, it’s true. Because, unlike his predecessor, Biden isn’t an egomaniacal baby.

 

In fact, I saw the perfect quote recently to explain who Donald J. Trump was as president and who he remains. It’s a quote from the historian Allan Nevins, about Abraham Lincoln. What Lincoln was, Trump will never be. 

[Abraham Lincoln’s] public utterances…attest [to] a rare intellectual power. The wisdom of his principle public acts, his magnanimity toward all foes public and private, his firmness under adversity, his elevation of spirit, his power of strengthening the best purposes and suppressing the worst instincts of a broad, motley democracy, place him in the front rank of modern statesman.

 

Meanwhile, Rejected-President Trump has been trying to keep in practice in case he runs again in 2024. 

That means he’s insulting people who used to work in his administration or provided him with advice. When former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah said she had talked with him after Joe Biden was elected – and said Trump admitted to her that he knew he lost – Trump erupted, as you had to expect. He referred to Farah as “a clown,” and a “backbencher,” “who is now a nobody again.” He made a point of saying of former Gov. Chris Christie, after Christie warned Republicans that it was time to move on from the “Big Lie” of the stolen 2020 election, that the man who headed up the Trump transition team in 2106, “left New Jersey with a less than 9% approval rating – a record low, and they didn’t want to hear this from him!” Trump also tagged Sen. Mitch McConnell as a “broken old crow,” after President Biden managed to pass his infrastructure bill.
