It should be pointed out that Abraham Lincoln, today considered perhaps our best president (and certainly in the top 5 on almost every such list) was reviled and hated by at least half the country during his time.

Like Trump, Lincoln inherited a divided country in which the two opposing sides literally hated each other.

Of course, many different circumstances. But the unbridled hate that President Trump faces every day from nearly half the country and certainly most of the establishment, is real.

I’ve heard some historians rate Harry Truman fairly high, which also contrasts with how he was viewed at the time.

The passage of time and perspective, can change how people and events are viewed down the road.

Obama is beloved by today’s liberals but will he be considered an historic president decades from now?
