Not many people know that. Didn’t like the beard though, I don’t like a beard. But he was very tall, which helped him look Presidential. Big strong guy, I hear. Not as strong as me, though. They say he Emasculated the Slaves, which was probably a good thing, since those slaves were from shithole countries and probably very randy, so they didn’t want the slaves around their good Christian women without being Emasculated. One of the greatest Presidents in history-- after your favorite President Donald J. Trump, of course. ---

You can tell from the bombast, lies and misrepresentations, random capitalizations, and general inanity. Not to mention being written at a fourth-grade level. For Leavitt to describe them as being “eloquently written” is laughable and would make [Baghdad Bob](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Saeed_al-Sahhaf) blush. And Trump is a “student of history” like a beagle is a connoisseur of eating other dog’s shit. ---

He really is just a toddler drawing on the walls at this point. I wonder if he realizes that whoever is president after him is going to tear all this gaudy shit out of the building and damnatio memorial everything he’s naming after himself. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > I wonder if he realizes that whoever is president after him is going to tear all this gaudy shit out of the building and damnatio memorial everything he’s naming after himself. I don’t think he cares. Regardless of some recent comments he made about heaven, I strongly suspect that he doesn’t believe in an afterlife. And, any posthumous adulation is meaningless to him: he wants the praise, and his name plastered on things, _ **now** _, while he can enjoy them. ---
