Is Trump Fulfilling The Nixon Legacy?

Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Nixon's Legacy?

The two presidents share a lot in common, including their secrets and even personal ties between Trump and Nixon.

Is that why Donald Trump is protecting Nixon's legacy?

Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann discuss how Trump is using the same tactics as Richard Nixon F.I.B.S.

Nixon and Watergate resulted in 70 court cases or other legal processes, but it took two years to remove Richard Nixon from office. Nixon crimes and Watergate burglar files are still being withheld, especially those featuring E. Howard Hunt, Roger Stone and others, are being stopped by Trump. Why is Trump protecting the legacy of Nixon?

Is Trump wanting fascism to keep his presidency alive?

How close is Trump to the Mafia mob? And then there is Trump and Russia. Where will this end?

stop thinking about politics and start thinking about the nation they're supposed to be serving.

But the two who come right to mind are ... Roger Stone and Paul Manafort.

Trump goes for the known con/thugs. If they would do dirty tricks for Nixon, he wants them.

Roy Cohn, I think, was a favorite of Nixon too.
