In reply to the discussion: Trump looks like he's in Dayton celebrating by the pictures taken of him [View all]Tommy_Carcetti
(43,143 posts)6. I can't help but think of this short piece of dialogue from the movie The Nice Guys re: Nixon
HEALY: I got a friend, right? Secret Service. Worked the Nixon detail. This was after they threw him out of office. No. Anyway, you know, Nixon's driving around one day around San Clemente. Just him and a few agents.
MARCH: Yeah.
HEALY: And they come across this car accident, right? There's a guy pinned under a car. Anyway, Nixon gets out, runs over to check on the guy, you know, leans down, and Nixon says to him, "You're gonna be okay, son. You're gonna be all right." And right then the guy dies.
MARCH: I don't get it.
HEALY: Think about it from that guy's point of view, okay? The guy who died. He's lying there on the ground, staring up at the sky, near death, and then former president Richard Nixon appears before him and tells him he's gonna be fine. Now, did he think that's normal, right, that before they die, everybody sees Nixon?
MARCH: You're expecting an angel and you get Nixon.
HEALY: Exactly. Right?
MARCH: Yeah.

OP
His smile never reaches his eyes. It's like it's forced. I think he's a psychopath.

Too bad there wasn't a photo session in the morgue with the victims that didn't make it.

If it was me in the hospital bed I'd send him a note via the nurse. "Go fuck yourself."

I knew that the only reason he was going was for a big photo op and to make this
