The further out we get from the election, the more it appears as though 2020 simply broke Donald Trump. I’ve said multiple times that the man is going to go to his death bed dwelling on the outcome, hateful, angry, and thoroughly convinced that it was stolen from him. The man has taken every opportunity he can to talk about how wronged he feels and of course, leave it to the former President to get more and more bizarre each and every time.

Yeah, he’s comparing himself to Lincoln now.

During an interview with FOX’s Mark Levin, Trump said:

“…Abraham Lincoln had a civil war going on but Abraham Lincoln was just vilified. Now they say Trump got treated the worst of all…”

Setting aside how irritating it is to hear him referring to himself in the third person, perhaps it’s worth noting that Abraham Lincoln was literally assassinated. Killed. Shot dead.

But, you know, leave it to Donald Trump to cry about how he’s got it worse.

We all know about that classic right wing victimhood complex. Trump, the supposed alpha male, will look for any opportunity to make himself out to be some…
