Lincoln had brain prions.

He and his family were once trapped in his Virginia cabin all winter due to heavy snow. They ran out of food and his family ate two of his cousins. All historical records have been redacted.

This led to the formation of prions in his brain, typically associated with cannibalism. He also had that shaky jaw thing some old people get, as you can tell in most of his pictures.

He was completely batshit, how else do you explain single handedly causing a war of aggression against half his own country? Among other crazy ideas like thinking certain people were equals. Another historical record was also heavily modified, regarding his assassination. He actually shot himself in Ford's theater after having an outburst where he jumped off the balcony and screamed something about being a tyrannosaurus. John Wilkes Boothe, who dindu nuffin, was blamed for the incident to cover up Lincoln's brain parasite driven madness.

Subutai was so fat that he couldn't ride a horse. He had to be carted around the battlefield, on the occasions he actually showed up. He was so lazy he'd write up battle plans and not always show up to implement them. Still won though.

Pic related, how he chose to be remembered.
