The Daily Beast reports:
President Donald Trump said at a campaign rally Friday that Abraham Lincoln “wasn’t big on the Hispanic movement” in an apparent attempt to praise himself.
Repeating his claim that he’s done more for minority communities than any other American leader, Trump tooted the results of his campaign events in Florida with leaders of the Hispanic community.
He said, “We call them the ‘Latinos for Trump,’ where we are polling at numbers that I guess no Republican has ever polled at before, perhaps, Abraham Lincoln. But in those days, he wasn’t big into the Hispanic movement, I think. He had other things to think about.”

“What would our popularity be if every day for almost four years, you didn’t hear any of this bullshit [from the media]? … With all we’ve done, I think they’d be very nice, the Democrats would say, ‘yes, if you’d like, we could cancel the election.'” — Trump pic.twitter.com/iP3lIDWifk

“We’ve taken NASA from fairways, gra– I mean, you have to see. They had fairways along like a golf course. It was a better golf course than it was a runway.” — Trump tries to say “runways” but accidentally says “fairways,” then tries to play it cool. He has golf on the brain. pic.twitter.com/gIemwOl8uC
