Donald Trump said he’s treated worse than Abraham Lincoln and the entire internet put him right
Spare a thought – only kidding! – for Donald Trump who’s fed up with the press doing things like asking him questions and holding him to account, stuff like that.
In fact, the so-called president reckons he’s being treated worse than Abraham Lincoln.

Trump: “They always said Lincoln. Nobody got treated worse than Lincoln. I believe I am treated worse.”
Lincoln was assassinated, but that’s nothing compared to Trump having to answer questions from reporters.
