Five things Donald Trump could learn from Abraham Lincoln; Washington Post, February 20, 2017

Donald Nieman, Washington Post; Five things Donald Trump could learn from Abraham Lincoln

"How will President Trump observe Presidents’ Day?

Will he have the inclination or take the time to read about or reflect on the qualities of our greatest leaders?

Given how busy Trump is issuing executive orders, fighting with the judiciary, managing the scandal surrounding the dismissal of his national security adviser, becoming acquainted with world leaders and tweeting, the answer is probably no.

As a historian who has studied presidential leadership for decades, I can perhaps save him some time by suggesting a few things he might learn from the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln."
