In his latest attack on President Lincoln Trump said on
Saturday that his television ratings were much higher than Abraham Lincolns.
If you put my TV ratings side by side with Lincolns, theres no comparison, Trump told Fox News. Honest Abe would want me to be honest about it, and, honestly, his ratings were terrible.
Trump argued that Lincolns television ratings were especially poor when you consider that he didnt have to compete with Netflix and Amazon, like I have to.
Abraham Lincoln had zero competition and he still couldnt get a decent number, Trump said. He might have been O.K. at some other things, but he was a total loser on TV.
Theorizing about Lincolns poor ratings performance, Trump mused that it might have been the beard.
People dont like to look at people with beards on TV, he said. Tom Selleck has a mustache, but thats different. If I was advising Lincoln, I would say, Abe, lose the beard. Its making you look like a joker. I wish I had been alive back then. I could have given Lincoln all kinds of good advice. Its sad how bad he was.
