Trump needs Newt Gingrich as historian to come out and draw the parallels between the last Secretary of State to become president who was voted by all historians as the worst president ever.
He was the president before Abraham Lincoln and created the mess handed to Lincoln.
He was a Democrat.
He was also gay.
He was also an attorney.
I’m speaking of James Buchanan
Per Wiki
James Buchanan, Jr. April 23, 1791 – June 1, 1868) was the 15th President of the United States (1857–61), serving immediately prior to the American Civil War.
He represented Pennsylvania in the United States House of Representatives and later the Senate, then served as Minister to Russia under President Andrew Jackson. He was named Secretary of State under President James K. Polk, and as of 2016 is the last former Secretary of State to serve as President of the United States.
After Buchanan turned down an offer to sit on the Supreme Court, President Franklin Pierce appointed him Ambassador to the United Kingdom, in which capacity he helped draft the Ostend Manifesto.
Buchanan was nominated by the Democratic Party in the 1856 presidential election, on a ticket with former Kentucky Representative John C. Breckinridge, defeating both the incumbent President Pierce and Illinois Senator Stephen A. Douglas.
Throughout most of Pierce’s presidency, Buchanan had been stationed in London as minister to the Court of St. James’s and so was not involved in the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which further divided the country along sectional lines.
His subsequent election victory took place in a three-man race against Republican John C. Frémont and Know-Nothing Millard Fillmore. As President, Buchanan allied with the South in attempting to gain the admission of Kansas to the Union as a slave state under the Lecompton Constitution. In the process, he alienated both Republican abolitionists and Northern Democrats, most of whom supported of popular sovereignty in determining a new state’s slaveholding status.
He was often called a “doughface”, a Northerner with Southern sympathies, and he fought severely with Stephen Douglas, the leader of the popular sovereignty faction, for control of the Democratic Party. Buchanan’s efforts to maintain peace between the North and the South alienated both sides.
And both Buchanan and Hillary (Her father’s family) are from Pennsylvania...
