TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “I’m doing things that nobody thought were possible and I’m getting them done. They can’t believe that I’m getting them done. Do you know who they say had the worst press of any president ever to serve, the Great Abraham Lincoln. They say that Abraham Lincoln got the worst press. I said, ‘There’s no way.’ People said, ‘No, it’s worse than you.’ I said, ‘No way. I guarantee I win that one.’
I get worse than Abraham Lincoln, but because I’ve done more than anybody thought could be done. And because it happens to be a different philosophy, a different, you know, a different kind of a thing.”
