Moon jae in biography of abraham lincoln

President Moon Jae-in and First Lady Kim Jung-sook arrived at the White House at six o’clock this evening for a welcoming dinner hosted by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

Korea needs a ‘bad minister’

Abraham Lincoln had the most unique cabinet in U.S. history. When he was elected the 16th President of the United States, he embraced not only Republican rivals that criticized him in the primary but also political enemies in the Democratic Party.

The most surprising decision was choosing Democrat Edwin Stanton as Secretary of War. Stanton called Lincoln “baboon.” Rather than a “yes man,” Stanton was a “bad secretary.” When Lincoln ordered him to move soldiers, Stanton refused to comply and said Lincoln was a fool for giving such an order.
