Comparing Presidential candidates to General George Washington is a long-held tradition in American journalism. Is it fair to hold modern politicians to such a historic standard? The Atlantic once again published yet another hit piece on Donald Trump this time by a history professor. So we called in the Dean of History, Dr. William B.
