Abraham Lincoln or Donald Trump are easily ahead of him, considering one caused a civil war and the other one wants to destroy america and half the country is against it.

First off I’m talking about Trump. And Please please pick up a history book.

After Abraham Lincoln won the presidential election, his opposition to the expansion of slavery prompted several Southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America. The war officially began when Confederate forces opened fire on the federal garrison at Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina, on April 12, 1861. Confederates started the civil war because they didn’t want to have to follow the new law of not being allowed to own slaves.

Divisive things Trump has said

Trump published social media posts labeling Democrats and specific leaders like Chuck Schumer as "human garbage"

Trump called domestic political opponents and Democrats "the enemy from within" (it really does not get more on the nose divisive than that)

Trump asserted that Democrats "hate the country" and are actively "destroying our country" through their policies

Trump on Jan.6 told the crowd to “fight like hell because if you don’t you won’t have a country anymore” moments before they marched onto the capitol building and attempted to violently halt the democratic process. (Again really can’t get more on the nose divisive)
