Though she has already been honored with a lifetime achievement award at the ripe old age of 37, former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton seems to be a bit disconnected from reality… and history.
When the Republican Party featured a picture of an (obviously) enhanced photo of President Abraham Lincoln wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat, Clinton chimed in with what may be one of the stupidest Tweets in recent memory.
First, the picture:

Which was promptly followed by this gem from Chelsea:
Please tell me this is photoshopped. Please? https://t.co/WezDQx6IvT

As you may have expected, the internet then proceeded to once again utterly destroy her:

@ChelseaClinton Oh yes, Chelsea, it’s as fake as the resume you have that earned an “achievement” award.
— The Mental Recession (@rustyweiss74) March 26, 2017
@ChelseaClinton Lincoln just got off his unicorn and just when the Bosnian sniper fire started, he put the hat on.

@ChelseaClinton You’re not particularly bright, are you ? Better rack up those lifetime achievement awards now before it’s too late.
— TheFracDog (@TheFracDog) March 27, 2017
No, I’m afraid it’s real.

As it turns out, the MAGA hat has a long history, according to the Internet:
