President Donald Trump’s appropriation of the Lincoln Memorial for a public relations interview with Fox News is abominable.

The president stated he has been treated worse than President Abraham Lincoln. His absurd claim is further proof of Trump’s solipsistic and, to put it mildly, immature understanding of the office holds.

Trump demonstrates impaired mentation and is intellectually, characterologically and ethically unfit for his position. Election Day 2020 cannot come soon enough.
