WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)āIn his latest attack on the nationās sixteenth President, Donald Trump boasted on Saturday that his television ratings were āmuch higherā than Abraham Lincolnās.
āIf you put my TV ratings side by side with Lincolnās, thereās no comparison,ā Trump told Fox News. āHonest Abe would want me to be honest about it, and, honestly, his ratings were terrible.ā
Trump argued that Lincolnās television ratings were especially poor āwhen you consider that he didnāt have to compete with Netflix and Amazon, like I have to.ā
āAbraham Lincoln had zero competition and he still couldnāt get a decent number,ā Trump said. āHe might have been O.K. at some other things, but he was a total loser on TV.ā
Theorizing about Lincolnās poor ratings performance, Trump mused that āit might have been the beard.ā
āPeople donāt like to look at people with beards on TV,ā he said. āTom Selleck has a mustache, but thatās different. If I was advising Lincoln, I would say, āAbe, lose the beard. Itās making you look like a joker.ā I wish I had been alive back then. I could have given Lincoln all kinds of good advice. Itās sad how bad he was.ā
