Trump was talking about “Honest Abe” Lincoln, who was a strong but honest president.

The irony is that Donald is almost NEVER honest in his life. 

He is Deceitful Donald.

What would Abe do? Honestly, he'd kick ass wearing a $15 tee! 

Happy 210th birthday, Mr. President. We at the Lincoln Collection celebrate the 16th President every day, but especially on February 12th. The collection has numerous forms of celebratory documents, pamphlets, and other items that have been used throughout history to celebrate Lincoln and his day.

 A proposal to make Lincoln’s birthday a state recognized holiday in Washington D.C. in 1921. Lincoln’s birthday is recognized in some states, but has never been a federally recognized holiday. (

It’s true, I didn’t expect giant space Abe Lincoln. 

Not to spoil the plot but they clone him and bring him to the future so he can run for president of the galaxy.
