In terms of how the Democrats are behaving the comparison is apt. Refusing to accept the results of an election, quasi-secession in the guise of “Sanctuary” cities, States refusing to recognize Federal authority in matters of immigration and law, violence and overt sedition, all add up to similarity with how they reacted to Lincoln’s election in 1860. And Trump’s surprising poll numbers among black Americans must make them feel like we’re about to take away their slaves (again).

Trump is very different from Lincoln, who was “brooding and melancholy, philosophical.”

I think Trump is closer to that description than we think. The President is plenty philosophical about this country and he has brooded over it for years. I don't think he is melancholy because he is very able to keep his promises and make things better.

No comparison. Trump is much better.

Lincoln became a saint by being assassinated, just like JFK.

“Dinesh D’Souza explains ‘outrageous’ Trump-Lincoln comparison”

I’ll explain it. Lincoln was GOPe of the times.

President Trump has not, so far, exhibited any tendency to violate the constitution, to suspend habeas corpus, to arrest opposition legislators, to close newspapers, or to start war when there are peaceful alternatives.

I hope Desouza does not create a new mess that President Trump will have to clean up, pardon the expression.

The MAIN difference between President Trump and all the others? Nobody owns him and all the other Washington DC politicians are. This scares the crap out of the Democrats, establishment Republicans and the main stream media. President Trump was a billionaire when he started and will be a billionaire when he leaves. How do you buy a billionaire?

D’Souza is a National Treasure.

I cannot wait until the movie comes out, written by a U.S. political prisoner.

“To compare” is to show the ways in which two (or more) things are similar. “To contrast” is to show the ways in which they are different. This can be done with any people, situations, topics. There are always ways in which A and B are similar; there are always way in which A and B are different.

So everyone needs to stop going hysterical about it.

One difference that Trump enjoys is his wife, Melania. With all of the assaults from the Left, Trump endures because of the support he has from Melania. In my mind she is an angel and many like me adore her.

Lincoln’s wife, Mary, was described as the “female wild cat of the age.” This loss of control was not Mary’s fault. It was a medical condition called pernicious anemia which was a result of Vitamin B12 deficiency. B12 deficiency shrinks the brain, leading to a significant decline in cognitive function, paranoia and hallucinations.

Beef liver is a good natural source of B12.

President-Elect Lincoln visited New York on his way to his inauguration and attended the opera.

The very best people were horrified when he appeared in evening dress wearing black gloves instead of white.

There is something in what D'Souza's saying.

He's sort of like the broken clock that sometimes gives the right time.
