"Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was," Trump said during a Saturday rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, in what was his first campaign event in the battleground state. "It was so much, and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways—it represented such a big portion of the success of this country," he continued.

"Gettysburg, wow—I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch," he said. "And the statement of Robert E. Lee, who's no longer in favor—did you ever notice it? He's no longer in favor. 'Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.' They were fighting uphill, he said, 'Wow, that was a big mistake,' he lost his great general. 'Never fight uphill, me boys,' but it was too late," Trump added.

Kind of puts Lincoln's little speech in the shade, don't it.

Now, to be fair, it loses something without the audio of his inimitable delivery. To get a better understanding of his genius, watch this video:

I think we're gonna need a new category below 'idiot'. From https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/moron-idi...

• Idiots. — Those so defective that the mental development never exceeds that or a normal child of about two years.
• Imbeciles. — Those whose development is higher than that of an idiot, but whose intelligence does not exceed that of a normal child of about seven years.
• Morons. — Those whose mental development is above that of an imbecile, but does not exceed that of a normal child of about twelve years.
— Edmund Burke Huey, Backward and Feeble-Minded Children, 1912

"Neonate" perhaps?
