Nixon: the president who became a crook
Trump: the crook who became a president

[eddydormilus]

The truth really hurts. At least Nixon had the decency to resign when confronted with his petty crimes; Donald Trump has no sense of honor to compel him to resign.

[garyd]

I think not having twitter hurts him more than impeachment, no joke

[coryzma]

“He’s really unstable” Hasn’t that been apparent the last four years? Old news

Pardons are for committed crimes. If he wants a pardon, he's admitting to a crime. Basically a confession. Guilty. Lock him up. Case closed.

"he doesn't want to be compaired with Richard Nixon."

I think Nixon doesn't want to be compaired with him, ( if possible from the grave)

Whats the latest on the president?

“Hes really unstable right now”

Me: Good as normal, go on

[totalcontrol]

He is nothing like Nixon, Nixon had the sanity and decency to resign.

I would say at this point a comparison with Nixon would be an insult to Nixon.

That’s a little unfair to Nixon...he wasn’t even impeached once.

[AmeliaEarharrt]

At this point is Nixon who should be mad about being compared to the likes of Trump!! 😂😂

[freeyourmind]

The comparison with Nixon, is probably unfair on Nixon.

[abcd]

He's worried about being compared to Nixon!? Heck, at this point he should take that as a COMPLIMENT! He's worse than Nixon LOL

[TheOGClassicMan]

Of course he's not like Nixon...Nixon had the balls to resign...

[gavanwhatever]

"really unstable right now"

So nothing has changed then?

[hmq]

"Don't compare me to Nixon"
"Sir, they're comparing you to Hitler"
"Mmm. Better. Get me a diet coke will ya."

[abbynormal]

Glad to hear he is upset. I have been upset for about four years now.

[diegoprodriguez]

After he sent an angry mob to after he said Pence “wasn’t strong enough to do what needs to be done”, I don’t think anyone can blame Pence for not pardoning Trump if he did resign.

[thefranchize]

What’s scary is almost enough people voted to keep him as POTUS
