Licnoln pens the Gettysburg Address, according to Donald J Trump

"He took the horse and carriage up from the White House. He wrote it partially in that carriage and partially at a desk in the Lincoln bedroom, which is incredible by the way, in the White House. And he went up to Gettysburg and … he delivered that speech. The Gettysburg Address. And he was excoriated, by the fake news. They had fake news then. He was excoriated. They said it was a terrible, terrible speech. They said it was far too short...Fifty years after his death they said it may have been the greatest speech ever made in America. I have a feeling that's going to happen with us. In different ways, that's going to happen with us."

Let's tote 'em up, shall we? Lincoln took a train to Gettysburg. He wrote it on the train and touched it up in his hotel room in town before delivering it. It got some bad reviews, mostly from newspapers that wanted to settle the war in such a way that we'd all need passports to get to Spring Training now. Edward Everett, the featured speaker that day, wrote to Lincoln, saying, "I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes."
