Donald Trump's legal team was told to back up their client by the special master in the Mar-a-Lago documents case. On Wednesday, the former President made a claim that was crazy. He said he would have defeated George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in an election and wiped them out. Trump spoke at the Hispanic leadership conference. “I remember a very famous pollster, very well known, John McLaughlin, came to my office just prior to the plague coming and he said, ‘Sir, if George Washington and Abraham Lincoln came alive from the dead and they formed a president-vice president team, you would beat them by 40 percent.’ That’s how good our numbers were.” Trump didn't mention the condition of the zombie presidents in the scenario, which would mean a 70/30 victory for him. Good to see Donald Trump is as humble as ever: “A very famous pollster … said, ‘Sir, if George Washington and Abraham Lincoln came alive from the dead and they formed a president-vice president team, you would beat them by 40%.’” pic.twitter.com/pd3251y7NH
There is a count on October 5, 2022.
Lincoln was the best commander-in-chief according to a survey by C-SPAN, followed by Washington and Trump.
There is a chance that the race might be close among Republicans.
Americans were asked to pick between Washington and Trump. Fifteen percent chose Trump. Among Republicans, Trump's numbers went up. Even though Washington would have won the race, it would have been by a small margin.
Fifty five percent of Republican voters said that Trump was better than Lincoln.
A fixation with comparing himself to the nation's greatest presidents has been a part of Trump's personality. In 2020, Trump claimed he had done more for Black Americans than anyone else, something he had said before.
He told a story about being able to defeat a Washington-Lincoln tag team but didn't include a quote from a pollster.
It would have been difficult for them to beat me if George Washington came back from the dead and chose Abraham Lincoln as his vice-president.
The latest version of the claim was mocked by users on the social networking site.
