You forgot to mention that he saved the Union and freed millions of human being from abject slavery. You also left out that he is considered to be our greatest President by most historians...minor details to you, perhaps, but a rather big deal to most Americans. So yes, I agree, great choice of analogies on my part. And, to be fair, like Lincoln...President Trump stirs an intense depth of hatred amongst his enemies and faces an unending torrent of slander from the press. Heck, Lincoln was often viewed very unfavorably by the Union public...yet he persevered and saved the Nation, making us a stronger and more free Republic.
So if the worst stone you can throw is to call Trump a modern day Lincoln...then by all means cast that stone. In my view, they are two truly great Republican leaders.
Got news for you - the republic died in 1861. In order to preserve the union statism was ushered in. The same historians that rank Lincoln so high also think FDR is in the top 3, so call me unimpressed with their opinions.
The best president was and ways will be Washington. He never wanted the position to be permanent, so he set the modern day example by self limitation to two terms. He sought to limit its reach and eschewed the power. He would have been extremely uncomfortable with the memorialization and glorification of him. That's the polar opposite of DJT.
The true legacy of Trump is and always will be "at least it wasn't Hillary."
