“And then the next day I was told that something strange is happening. There’s a lot of death being reported in a certain country. I won’t tell you which one because that country is well represented here,” Trump continued. “But you know which one. And thousands and thousands of people are dying. And I said, that’s strange. What would that be? And it turned out to be a disaster for the world.”

Ironically, Trump chose the 162nd anniversary of the Gettysburg Address given by Lincoln to proclaim he could beat him for president.

The famed Gettysburg Address was given during a formal dedication of Soldiers’ National Cemetery, which is now known as Gettysburg National Cemetery. The Battle ok Gettysburg is touted as the turning point is the American Civil War.

Trump has referred to beating Washington and Lincoln before, but the percentage by which he would have supposedly beat them has changed.

“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%,’” the president said in 2022 at the Hispanic Leadership Conference.
