"No politician in history," President Trump said Wednesday, "has been treated worse or more unfairly." The remark came during his commencement address to the graduating class of the U.S. Coast Guard. "You can't let the critics and the naysayers get in the way of your dreams," he said, parlaying his aggrieved feelings into a lesson for the graduates. "You can't let them get you down... I guess that's why we won."
