“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.

Seriously. Do any of the folks they are trying to convince even remember who tricky Dick was? I barely do.
Some millennial reading comic books?
Geez that’s dumb. But, it’s THE HILL. A cesspool of Washington pestilence
You gotta have some really twisted logic to squeeze that comparison out your butt. And a whole box of exlax.
the rats have done more damage to this country over he years than anyone, lets include thier cohorts many GOP.
It’s the only meme they got.
Nixon made the mistake of falling for it. Trump isn’t going to. All the phony sliming - and now the shocking attempts to arrest him on trumped up charges (pun intended) - have them on the run: the old script isn’t working.
BTTT
The oppositional vacuum of leadership created by the Deep State and the Marxist Democrats is beyond massive. And, so far, Trump is the only one who can even begin to fill the void.
Trump is a lot stronger than just about any political character.
“Trump even managed to get caught on tape incriminating himself.”
Get caught? Wasnt it an ‘on the record’ interview he offered to give? lol Just like he ‘got caught’ asking to find the 12000 votes in Georgia on a phone call with 10 people?
The next 5 years are going to be tough for these broken feebleminded pieces of excrement.
Nixon loved his country. He had his faults as the EPA and Price Controls showed, but what was done to Nixon was done to Trump on a far greater scale, and far less deserved.
One can make the case that what Nixon did was so far below what the Clinton, Obama, and Biden administrations have done with their weaponization of government, as to not even appear on the same scale.
The Left never forgave him for showing Alger Hiss to be the scumbag traitor he was. Hiss should have been hanged.
One difference is that Nixon got more of the Leftist Agenda done than any other president, of either party. Trump...not so much, if at all.
The Hill = Total Propaganda = Fake News = Waste Of Time Reading
I'll see their Nixon and raise them a Clinton, an Obama, and a Biden.
Nixon should have been a Liberal Icon.
Nixon never tried.
And frankly, there is nothing wrong with not constantly holding “rallies” for yourself, even when you ARE president, especially. That has never happened before. I thought it was unseemly when Uhbama kept going on TV shows while in office. We keep getting more unseemly.
Boy are they desperate. Fear!
I guess we now know how “Da Hill’s” Keith Naughton spent the Independence Day weekend. Writing far-left nonsense.
Let go of Nixon? Heck, they can’t let go of Herbert Hoover. A 100 years from now they’ll still be yammering about Trump and blaming him in their two minutes hate for the US becoming a squalid police state.
