LOL -- @Troy_Balderson gets on stage and says, "to the seniors out there... President Trump will protect your Social Security and Medicare, and I'll fight alongside him to make sure the benefits you were promised are there for you." #dokay

Trump says he only "destroys careers" of anti-Trump Republicans because "they said bad things about me."

TRUMP: "I never knew I was going to win the women. My wife, the First Lady said, 'the women really like you.' They do like me, and I like them. I said 'how did we win the women?' We won the women. That was a surprise to a lot of people."

Trump's stream-of-consciousness ranting about trade is even harder to follow than usual. Tell me if you can make sense of what he's talking about in this 84-second clip.

Trump on his popularity among Republicans: "A couple of them compare me to some of the greats. They talk about Abe Lincoln, honest Abe. They say great things."

He is just saying that because he knows his cult will pic it up and repeat it and believe it.

There is no such thing as truth for him. He just says whatever he wants to be true and for him, it's the truth even though it has no basis in reality. He need to be fact checked in the MSM after every single media appearance. Stephanie and Al did this after the last rally and it was great.

On what planet would any sane person compare themselves to an icon like that??? Trump's deslusions of grandeur are the only think iconic in his presidency.

Where the noble leader throws a child in front of the firing line and reveals to his sycophants what he is. A simpering coward. Can we cut to the chase and take his action as written now??? Without hurting a child, of course.

All those idiots who are scrambling passionately after a bloated, ancient stupid fucking con artist deserve no respect or understanding. Whatever brains they had are now completely dissolved.

He certainly didn't win a majority of the vote among women (Clinton did by a 12-point margin). Of course, he did win the majority of the vote among white (economically anxious) women, and I suppose that's all that matters to him.

It is appalling that more than 40% of women voted for Trump, so if that's his point, I can't disagree.

and statues, as Der Fuckstick has done. Aside from hoping his presidency ends the same way, I don't see anyone comparing Trump to Lincoln.
