“Three of the four presidents who have left the scene of their usefulness and glory expired on the anniversary of the national birthday, a day which of all others, had it been permitted them to choose [they] would probably had selected for the termination of their careers,” the Post reported on July 5, 1831.
The Post had the good sense to publicize this fact on the day after July 4th. Today’s papers and Bush didn’t.
I would have had far less objection, if they had.
As for that paper, it doesn’t have a feud going on with Trump at this time.
