Go back and read about the things people used to say about Washington and the early Presidents. It was tabloid shit. They would talk about the President's family and his bastard children and say was a drunken lech. If you want to be President, you're going to need a thick skin. People are going to spread all sorts of crazy stories about you, but you need to stay above it all. Of course, as in the case of Thomas Jefferson, most of the rumours were true.
