Abraham Lincoln "among America's greatest presidents"

Isn't he pretty much universally agreed to be the best president by historians and public opinion polls? The "greatest " is usually considered Mount Rushmore and FDR as a group, with Lincoln usually in first. Is Trump just saying "among the greatest" so he can try include himself amongst the top? Which would be funny because Trump's first term is ranked as one of the worst.

Lincoln is the most popular #1 pick but there are definitely some people who say Washington and probably a few who say Reagan (and some who might say FDR, but I don't think Trump would acknowledge them). And obviously many people who say Trump in order to please Trump.

Probably the bulk of it written by interns and he just added or edited that sentence at the end, judging by the capitalization of "Great"

The Jackson one is so horribly written.

Interrupting himself to point out that the press has been unfair to him. That's literature baby!

Abraham Lincoln was a very hard act to follow.
