Leave Grover Cleveland Out of This!

Long Island, I’m coming for you on Thursday! I’ll be delivering a keynote on George Washington at Raynham Hall Museum in Oyster Bay on March 23rd. The house belonged to a member of Washington’s spy ring, which delights me to no end.

Grover Cleveland, a trivia-night-at-the-pub kind of president, has been getting name-checked since Donald Trump announced his reelection campaign. It’s a curiously optimistic comparison when you consider that Cleveland, the only president in American history to be elected to two non-consecutive terms, differs from Trump in significant ways.
