He then basically said but Grant was greater. The point was to make Grant look good.

He wasn't really saying that Grant was greater, only that he was the eventual winner--that Donald Trump is all about winning. The reference to the two great Generals was actually a stroke of genius in Southwest Ohio--at least among those of us who had kin in Southwest Ohio, at the relevant time.

The generation of Southern Ohioans who grew up after the terrible war, had profound admiration for both men. And were aware,also, of the noble risk that General Grant--himself a great admirer of Lee--took, in his threat against anyone who would try to prosecute Lee.

I think that Lee was pretty generally idolized by West Point graduates in the 19th Century.

It is all part of how truly our President understands "winning" in multiple senses. (Now is truly the time to help him demonstrate that trait!!) A vote for Trump supporters, today, is the best way, I know to honor the memory of both Generals!!
