Donald Trump sees the world in an interesting way. He is also very certain of it. It isn’t a great trait, but, it is all about Donald.

No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.” ~Donald Trump

I’m guessing Abraham LincolnJames Abram Garfield (1881), William McKinley (1897-1901), and John F. Kennedy(1961-63). all assassinated while in office, might disagree.

Of course, what about Nelson Mandela? What about Ghandi?

And not so well known, John W. Stevens, a North Carolina tobacco trader who served in the Confederate army, Stevens became a Republican after the Civil War. He helped organize blacks and they, in turn, helped elect him to the state Senate. This didn’t go over well with some of the locals. Stevens was ostracized, denied credit and was even accused of murdering his mother. In 1870, Stevens was stabbed and strangled after being ambushed by more than a dozen members of the Ku Klux Klan.

And … the list could go on.
