Trump will take this as the highest of compliments, that dead presidents, including most of whom who are on currency and coins, think so highly of him that they’ve come back from their graves to watch The Donald Show.

Add in what Truman said about Nixon. Applies to Drumpf as well

“Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he’d lie just to keep his hand in. ”

The great Barry Blitt also did the “infamous” Obamas “terrorist fist bump” New Yorker cover.

Or if they knew what the New Yorker is.

How cleverly selective of Presidents they NYer chose. If you think about it.

Even Dick Nixon would have issues with Trump
