Yesterday, Trump was asked what he would do if he could take a 1-year "sabbatical."
He responded by complaining about how badly he is treated by the media.
"Historians say" Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln are the presidents who have been treated the worst. But Trump says he is #1. 🗃️

But it's worth pointing out that the federal government owns about 1/3 of the land area of DC and can police it directly, without abolishing elected local government.
