Trump is a quitter.

CNN’s Scott Jennings attempted the unenviable
task of translating what he thought former
President Donald Trump meant earlier in the
day when he suggested Abraham Lincoln could
have “settled” the American Civil War.
Trump told Fox News on Friday morning that
he believed the country’s 16th president
could have found a solution beyond a
four-year armed conflict that remains the
bloodiest war in American history.
“Lincoln was probably a great president,
although I’ve always said, why wasn’t that
settled?” Trump said. “You know, I’m a guy
that – it doesn’t make sense we had a Civil
War… You’d almost say, like, why wasn’t
that–? As an example, Ukraine would have
never happened, and Russia, if I were
president. Israel would have never happened.
October 7 would have never happened, as you
know.”
Trump made the comment in response to a
question from a child who asked who his
favorite president was when he was “little.”
Trump initially cited Ronald Reagan – who
was elected while the then-New York real
estate developer was in his thirties.
On AC360 Friday night, host Anderson Cooper
welcomed Jennings and Bakari Sellers to
discuss Trump’s Fox News comments. Sellers
commented that he believed Trump had no
“grasp” on American history and was not fit
to be president.
He added, “No matter what pretzel anybody
turns himself into our eyes can tell the truth.”
Cooper then pivoted to Jennings, a veteran GOP
strategist, to explain what he thought Trump
meant by the comment. Jennings teed up the
following response:
I mean, look, I think he has a general
disposition that war is bad and that he’s
running as an anti-war type candidate, and he
believes that you should try to avoid war. So,
I think that’s a general baseline position of
his. I know he said this earlier this year as
well. Lots of politicians did try to settle it,
and never compromises, and punts, and all the
way down the field. And then obviously we had
the Civil War for the very obvious reason of
eradicating slavery.
