In a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner, Trump repeated past claims that he had done more for the black community than any other President. In doing so, he made a comment about “the end result.”
TRUMP: I think I’ve done more for the black community than any other President. And let’s take a pass on Abraham Lincoln because he did good, although it’s always questionable, you know, the end result-
FAULKNER: Well we are free, Mr. President so I think he did pretty well. [laughter]
TRUMP: But we are free. You understand what I mean.
It was unclear what Trump was referring to.
Trump previously claimed that he could be more Presidential than Lincoln “with the big hat,” who he described as someone who “did the thing.”
