Trump said that he could have won the elections of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln

Donald Trump told reporters that, in his opinion, he could have defeated George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in the elections.

«I think if George Washington had risen from the dead and chosen Abraham Lincoln as his vice president, it would have been difficult for them. I think it would be very difficult for them to defeat me, » Trump told Washington Post reporters Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig.

Rucker and Leonnig mention this comment in their new book about Trump, «One I Can Fix It,» a review of which was published by The Guardian.

Lincoln and Washington are often called the two greatest presidents in the history of the United States. For comparison, some polls have shown that almost half of all Americans believe that Donald Trump has become the worst US leader in the country’s history.

Trump is also the only American president who has been impeached twice.

At the same time, it is not the first time that he talks about a possible victory over Washington. Before the presidential election last year, Trump said that he would have been able to beat him in the election if it had not been for COVID-19.

«I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but the survey results are growing by leaps and bounds. It would have been difficult for George Washington to defeat me before the [COVID-19] plague came, » Trump said.
