Trump Explodes at Nixon comparisons; tells aides to never mention Nixon around him again!

Oh, I'm imagining that that everything we know at the moment is going to be merely the tip of the iceberg. You could probably fill a library with shit. Which will be incedentally, Trump's presidential library. Everything in it is a thing you are not allowed to do if your ass is sitting in the oval office. I'm more interested in if we're actually going to do something about this shit and get all this shit in writing so its clearly a crime to do these things.
If anything the presidency held him back. Once he's a civilian he's going to ratchet things up to 20 with 0 boundaries on what he can say and do. Expect him to go full cult leader mode. Remind me of this post in a year or two, he's going to become a shit-show-circus and become even more Jesus like to waaaaaaaay too many people.
And he'll go out like most cult leaders: jail or a hail of gunfire in under two years. Dude has a flood of lawsuits just waiting for him to leave office and he's lost all his political and most of his legal team, he's in for a lot of hurt especially if it comes out he explicitly suppressed security last week
Will he ever get a jury that doesn't have one his nuts on it?
With civil cases he's too experienced in playing the system to make any real impact. He'll grift his followers who will keep the money flowing in and abuse the legal/financial system to keep his wealth
What's he gonna do if they keep it up? Lol he basically has no power right now and everyone has either already found a job or is just moving on in general at this point, most probably have their final paychecks approved already
I'd imagine there'd be special procedures. Like an international tribunal or something. Extradite him to Iran even
Nixon opened up relations with China. He was a genuinely bad person but he did accomplish something important.
Nixon sent a few people to break into the DNC at night and steal documents.
Trump sent hundreds of people into the Capitol while every Congressperson, Senator, and VP were conducting the transfer of power.
Like he's so bad, he almost makes you feel sorry for the other bad guys.
I agree but Nixon went beyond "piece of shit" category. Many people only remember him for the Watergate burglary and how he got caught. He is absolutely a far worse, much more nefarious individual. He actively plotted to kill Ted Kennedy by removing his secret service detail for example. It's in the tapes.
And with the banks abandoning him and his financial reputation in tatters, too.
Just call it Trumpian and be done with it. Nixon's dead, fuck em.
I assume he's rather be compared to the corrupt moron President people still like for some reason?
Also, do people saying the comparison is an insult to Nixon realize what a fucking insane scumbag he was? Like W, Nixon is in his own stratosphere of evil for all of the blood he has on his hands.

Yeah, feels like it should always be mentioned that Nixon conspired with a power, who we were literally at war with, to win an election. Thousands dead per month, and this dude not only extended the war but expanded it after getting power.
That expansion led to not only more needless blood and death abroad, but 1970 wasn't a particularly good year following the expansion into Cambodia for many Americans stateside.
Fuck Nixon and his silent majority, and fuck his war on drugs - a literal war on America's own because he was a white supremacist authoritarian asshole.
Top Nixon adviser reveals the racist reason he started the 'war on drugs' decades ago
"By getting the public to associate hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin... We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, and vilify them."

If Trump and Nixon should be mentioned together, it should always only be in shaming the GOP for giving us lying, cheating, criminal white supremacists who continually loot the country.
wayyyy too much Nixon love ITT for me. Countless children in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos were burned alive, women raped or shot to pieces by our heinous military and their endeavor that Nixon lied about order to extend the war simply to be re-elected. Not to mention the thousands upon thousands of American soldiers who died unnecessarily
Yep. No lies there. It's arguably fair to say that Nixon was "complicated" and that he accomplished some good, but it absolutely can't be left at that: everything you said, plus the beginnings of the war on drugs that fomented racial inequities and racist animosity that can still be felt -- that absolutely can't be overlooked.
But this makes me perversely curious about how people, on whatever will replace forums 50 years from now, will attempt to whitewash and minimize Trump.
i think that really depends on what president logan paul decides to do
Trump is the best thing to happen to Nixon in decades. Lol.
Most important to me is that the comparison bothers Trump greatly. Anything that bothers Trump is a win and should be exploited at every opportunity. Make him suffer!

Well, in Trump's defense Nixon was impeached two times less than Trump, so you can't really compare that.
Leaving office in disgrace? Absolutely

I mean in Britain his name is and always has been slang for farts so
This explains it all. Looks like there is a curse that was invoked at the creation of the nation by the right wing and you can only rid of it by passing it to another, Nixon passed it to Trump.
I know everyone wants to hammer Trump, which is fine, but Nixon was such a piece of shit I don't know how you compare.
He ordered the carpet bombing and invasion of Cambodia, a neutral nation for no reason than to convince conservatives he was still tough on communism. Estimated 500,000 were killed, including 50,000 executions.
Nixon also continued a program of mass torture far worse than Bush's, ordered chemical warfare in Vietnam, and pardoned a mass murderer of women and children, at My Lai.

It's because his victims were mostly foreigners, black people, and Jews.
Trump's victims also include other white people, and now they're taking it personally.
They're birds of a feather IMO. Both were pretty bad when you dig into it.
If I had to choose sure I'd Trump was worse; Nixon at least was articulate and had some positive policies/elements. Nixon's low's though are really low: sabotaging efforts to halt Vietnam War to get himself elected and allow him to claim win of halting the war (essentially treason I'd presume); per-meditated crimes to retain power/influence and harm political opponents, conspiring against individuals, etc.
Trump's worse only in that he has no actual high's at all; everything he did was shit or simply allowed shit to happen and of course his stoking of violence and insurrection.
But I mean this is saying which criminal was marginally more criminal and which criminal had a few good spots. They're both criminals and both illustrate huge issues with GOP and US politics and reflect badly on those who voted for them.

Prison Reform
....ummmm....maybe more people will like some of his trade related moves in the future?
I honestly can't think of anything else that might be used for positive spin
I can at least credit Nixon with my birth. Had he not bombed the ever living fuck out of Laos, blowing up a bunch of Laotian and Vietnamese people into little pieces or displacing them, my family would not have fled to the US and birthed me out of some white lady.
That's what 270 million cluster bombs will do. A very "complicated" and "mixed bag" of a man indeed.
