What college did the most famous classical historians Thucydides or Herodotus graduate from? None. Thucydides is considered by some to be the father of "scientific history" and Herodotus to be "The Father of History." They both used the original sources and methods of investigation to write their histories that Wead used to write his.

Wead's humble beginnings are no disqualification to write history. His books on Presidents are historical records written in the tradition and methods of classical historians.

You've got nothing but sarcasm and ignorant disdain to add to this thread. You certainly have nothing pertinent, important, or factual to say about the video.

Trying to kill the messenger is a pitiful tactic when you have nothing else to say. And, BTW, Wead's book paints an entirely different portrait of Trump than you're totally negative, horrific, condemnations. Perhaps the truth is somewhere between the two?

And perhaps, in spite of his flaws, he is actually doing a lot of good and necessary things for this country.
He probably couldn't assail anything the guy said, and God knows he wasn't going to admit he might have a point. So insult the one who said it, and ignore what he said.
