POLITICAL FIGURES/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “And nobody has been through what I’ve been through as president of the United States, nobody. They used to say Abraham Lincoln got the worst press. I said, ‘There’s no way he got worse than me.’ But Lincoln was very, very badly treated by the fake news. Maybe in his case, it was real. I can tell you, in my case, it’s fake. It’s totally fake. But nobody’s been and should never be allowed to happen again.”
