I was sickened by Mr. Trump’s ridiculous blather in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial.

Thank you, Mr. Rees and Mr. Jolley for expressing my own feelings so eloquently. (“One great president and one not,” May 7). You are so right. Trump comparing the abuse he suffers with the suffering of Lincoln is "grotesque."

This latest "stunt" is one more example of Trump's clownish, pathetic, and now disgraceful reach toward a totally undeserved preeminence.

Fox News ought to be ashamed.
