Trump: Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was ridiculed by the 'fake news' - GMDino - 09-07-2018 Very stable...genius....yep. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/405499-trump-lincolns-gettysburg-address-was-ridiculed-by-the-fake [/url] Quote:[url=http://thehill.com/people/donald-trump]President Trump on Thursday night claimed that the media "excoriated" President Lincoln when he gave the Gettysburg Address in 1863. RE: Trump: Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was ridiculed by the 'fake news' - fredtoast - 09-07-2018 It doesn't matter what he says anymore. No one cares if any of it is true in any way. Even the people here who support him agree. "Who cares if you can't believe a word he says. I got a tax break."

I got a tax break." That's pretty much the GOP mantra, these days. It's the tone of the anonymous op-ed, it's the views of the legislators. Too bad the Democrats are so terrible at running for things because this could really be something to take advantage of.

I have a feeling that's going to happen with us. No. No one is ever going to pluck out one of Trump's speeches for its eloquence, honesty or positive impact. RE: Trump: Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was ridiculed by the 'fake news' - Millhouse - 09-07-2018 To be fair the Gettysburg Address was a head scratcher when he spoke it. The crowd gave applause through it at times as they do any speech. But it wasnt until he begin to sit down did they realize it was over, and then gave clapped as there was silence for a few seconds. The keynote speaker of the day who spoke before him was last name of Everett I believe, told Lincoln something like 'you just said in 2 minutes what I said in 2 hours.' Others not so nice or werent smart enough to realize what just happened. But like today, Lincoln was criticized of the speech down partisan lines in newspapers. Democratic backed papers scorned and ridiculed him. But they weren't the brightest people of the day, for the next year they nominated George McClelland as their nominee who was chickenshit general that thought he was the next coming of Caesar or Napoleon. In regards to Trump, I never have heard it was 50 years later or anything, but I do know over time and after Lincoln's death did the speech begin to gain momentum among scholars. Garry Wills book Lincoln at Gettysburg is a great read for those that are interested too. RE: Trump: Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was ridiculed by the 'fake news' - fredtoast - 09-10-2018 Considering Trump followers would have been fighting for the confederacy I'd say a lot of them would have been critical of the Gettysburg Address. "Fox and Friends" would have eviscerated it.

Nah, conservatives usually fight for/support the US Army.

Nothing like a disgusting smear against people who think differently than you. I said it to your clone, I'll say it to you, your disdain for those with different opinions than yourself is really quite ugly.

True. But Trump is right about the Gettysburg Address being ridiculed by the 'fake news' of the day as I said above.

And, yes, I have a problem with people who rally around the confederate battle flag. Deal with it.
