Donald Trump has been on a pretty-much-nonstop rampage lately, as is his wont. But it’s not just on Twitter. It’s everywhere.
In case you missed this moment:
Apex World News ~ Donald Trump fires back at the reporter who spoken down on him:
"You're just a lightweight. Don't talk to me that way. I'm the President of the United States. Don't ever talk to the President that way."

NBC News presidential historian Michael Beschloss didn’t miss it, and he can’t help but see a stark contrast between Trump’s attitude toward the media and Abraham Lincoln’s:
Michael Beschloss ~ Abraham Lincoln never told an esteemed reporter, "Don't talk to me that way! ... I’m the President of the United States. Don't ever talk to the President that way!"
Beschloss, like Doris Kearns Goodwin, is an ignorant stooge who masquerades as a supposed" presidential historian" for the lamestream media. Nothing but a leftist hack.
Yeah, Lincoln would never do something like that.
Amy Lutz ~ I have some bad news for you.
Ben McDonald ~ Yeah let's not defend Lincoln's record with the media. LOL!
tsar becket adams ~ Boy, have you actually read up on what Lincoln did to dissenting newsrooms?
Beschloss??? He hasn't ever read any history. Beschloss don't need no stinkin' history ... he's a "presidential historian" ... that title gives him the ability to simply make sh!t up ... as long as it makes Democrats look good, that is.
Hey, man. Beschloss is just a presidential historian. You can’t expect him to remember presidential history. That’s just not fair.
Noam Blum ~
Ben Shapiro ~ Um, Lincoln shut down more than 300 newspapers.
Ben Shapiro ~ So much historianisming.
Kyle Mann ~ Abraham Lincoln jailed journalists you absolute cheesebag.
Greg Price ~ Abraham Lincoln did it the old fashioned way and just put them jail when they criticized him.
Eric Martin ~ He just threw them in prison and shut down their newspapers.
Dana Loesch ~ How the hell are you a historian? He arrested editors and shut down newspapers.
But that’s not the same thing as snapping at reporters!
Well ... yeah ... I suppose you're riiiiiiiiiiiiight about that, eh?
tsar becket adams ~ This is like people citing the 1960 election to dunk on Trump. Are you all TRYING to find the worst possible examples?
I got your #Unity right here ~ They got what they wanted, and they're still angry enough to ignore history.
It’s almost as if they’re doing it on purpose or something.
Nathan Wurtzel (((Slight Return))) ~ When you allow Trump to derange you, this happens.
Beschloss knows Lincoln shut down over 300 newspapers and imprisoned journalists. He's hoping you don't.
As Abraham Lincoln once said:
James Taranto ~ "Don't believe everything you read on the internet." ~ Lincoln
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
