As most have observed, Mr. Trump seems to be the most maligned President in memory. However, Mr. Trump is not the most maligned President in history, that honor goes to Mr. Lincoln.
Mr. Lincoln's election initiated the Civil War, as several southren states declared they were no longer part of the Union. So, Mr. Lincoln took action to "preserve the Union" but after Gettysburg, the action became a war of emancipation.
Abe was called a "N" word lover. An ape. Not sure but some may have called him a low down Yankee liar. He wanted to unite the country, but he Democrats of that time wanted the country to remain half slave and half free.
The promise of the Declaration of Independence, that all men were created equal actually applied to white men and not women, no matter the color of their skin. That wrong was corrected for non-white men shortly after the Civil War, but women were not allowed to vote until the 1920"s.
The recent "October Surprise" (the release of the bogus "law-fare" charges against Mr. Trump) may influence the election, but perhaps not in the direction intended by the Democrats.
Mr. Lincoln won because he stood for the American dream, equal opportunity under the law. Time will tell if Mr. Trump will win because he stood for the American dream, equal opportunity under the law.
