President Donald Trump admitted that he became "extremely angry" after hearing that he was not a better president than George Washington or Abraham Lincoln.
At a Tuesday event with Republican senators in the White House Rose Garden, Trump told the tale as he described a "Presidential Walk of Fame" he's created outside the West Wing.
"From the great George Washington all the way to, well, I think we have to rate him above me," he lamented. "So it's less than great, less than George."
"Somebody went up there, they say, 'You're the third best president in the Unite —, this was on television! third best,'" he continued. "And they said, who are the first two? 'George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.'
"And I got extremely angry at this man, you know."
Trump admitted that he thought it would be "tough to beat" Washington and Lincoln.
"But we're going to give it a try, right?" he remarked. "Hey, they didn't put out eight wars, nine coming. All right, we put out eight wars, and the ninth is coming, believe it or not."
