Lincoln Memorial--Credit Chadh
Hopefully the world will little note nor long remember Donald Trump's words at Gettysburg on Saturday. If he was trying to gain stature by standing in Abraham Lincoln's footprints, he failed miserably.
To quote, not from Lincoln's immortal address at Gettysburg 153 years ago, but from his second inaugural address, in 1865:
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
And to quote from Trump's comments at Gettysburg:
"Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign. Total fabrication. The events never happened. Never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over."
It goes to character.
