How long before he tries the same with Washington/Lincoln?

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hasn't he mentioned something about the Lincoln Memorial? His ramblings are all over the place, but the fact that people around him follow the orders as if they make sense makes any utterance dangerous.

Kennedy and Lincoln

Both presidents that have been assassinated

Does he know something we don’t?

As a malignant narcissist, it's totally expected that he'll try to sully the memory or reputation of anyone he perceives people like more than him. Being assassinated definitely played a role in how highly they're regarded

Meh, no one really gives a shit about McKinley or Garfield. I'd wager that a majority of Americans don't even know they were assassinated. Both Lincoln and Kennedy are famously connected to major advances in social progress, it makes sense people would hold them in higher regard than presidents that led less popularly-considered successful administrations.

Well, it certainly helps the notoriety that Kennedy's assassination has video footage.

Surprised he hasn't already had himself carved over the top of everyone at Mt Rushmore ...

He's certainly talked about having it done

With the Idiocracy style nonsense going on I wouldn't be surprised to see the Washington monument turned into a giant phallus and tagged as the trump/epstein memorial.
