“I gave them a sword. And they stuck it in, and they twisted it with relish. And I guess if I had been in their position, I would have done the same thing.” — Richard Nixon.
What Nixon said, Donald Trump could easily say about himself. Of course, he will not.
Richard Nixon was the last president who faced anything like the legal jeopardy former President Trump is facing — plus a frothing electronic lynch mob.
The end game for both Nixon and Trump has some eerie similarities. Detested by the media, the New York-Washington elites and the left, both Nixon and Trump were subject to a nonstop campaign to destroy their administrations and their futures. Both played off the haters for political gain. Both ended up making severe errors in judgment that brought them down. Trump even managed to get caught on tape incriminating himself.

Trump is objectively larger than Tricky Dick (a RINO’s RINO):

lol
They still go after Reagan.
I remember: I was a working, on-the-street TV newsreporter. Then President Nixon and his supporters and staff made many errors during his tenure.
“Nixon should have been a Liberal Icon.”
It SHOULD be a lesson to the GOP, but it’s not. No doubt you remember another flaming GOP Leftist, Bob Packwood, got the same treatment as Nixon - did everything he could for the Left, but they saw an opening and POUNCED.
Something in DC makes people Republicans unable to understand “The scorpion and the frog”.
Donald Trump has made it past 2 impeachments and numerous fake trials. The government has lied cheated and stolen to try and stop him. But he keeps getting stronger. Because every time the government or media outs themselves as totally corrupt.
The government thinks Trump is the most dangerous man. WHy because he outs them. Trump is dangerous... too the swamp. But to America he is our last great hope.
Nixon should have fought back. Trump does. However Nixon did not have the technology as we do today.
It’s all about power, if you block them from power, they will find a way to get rid of you, it has nothing to do with ideology.
Not even close. Dick was a small town Republican small “c” conservative who despised the Goldwater and Reaganites but hated the left more. He was able to tap into an anti-leftist silent majority that otherwise hated GOP economic policies to have the greatest electoral landslide in history.
The author of this swill is an interesting guy.
The unanswered question: Why did Deep State feel the need to get rid of him?
YOU ARE SOOOOO RIGHT!!!!
Always consider the SOURCE.
“Trump does”
That’s what the Commutards REALLY don’t like about him.
The author is a of the “consultant class” , the very folks that Trump would deride in his talks.
Nope. Doesn’t matter. Trump as Hitler was not enough so now Trump must be Nixon too. Are they trying to paint DeSantis as Reagan? Smh.
Trump and Nixon were just accused of the relatively minor crimes that the leftists engage in as a routine
Trump was falsely impeached for what Biden actually did
Nixon was set up and tricked by deep state FBI entrapment ( tricked Dick not tricky Dick)
our political system (and war machine) makes it hard for me to be "patriotic" and wave a flag anymore after a 70 year lifetime of this crap
The leftists never forgave Nixon for outing Alger Hiss.
That’s it! They thought they got rid of him in 1960, but he came back, so they had to finish the job.
I was going to ask for a Barf Alert for articles from The Hill. But then I realized The Hill headlines are their own Barf Alerts.
KEITH NAUGHTON?? Is this the guy who once worked Pennsylvania for some minor Republican candidates? Haven’t heard of him in twenty years.
