Donald Trump said at a campaign rally Friday night that President Abraham Lincoln “wasn’t big on the Hispanic movement” in a bizarre apparent attempt to praise himself.

Repeating his claim that he’s done more for minority communities than any other American leader in history, Trump touted the results of his campaign events in Florida with leaders of the Hispanic community.
