Nixon is opposite Drumpf in a lot of ways. Smart guy who didn’t care a ton about his image.
Both bad people tho.
I'm not sure they were necessarily opposites, but Nixon actually cared to be a president, and was able to handle criticism (to a point) and had the tact and political insight to get what he wanted done (some good, some bad, as pretty much most presidents do). His major fault was being a paranoid control freak paired with powerful back channel associates who's biggest sin ended up covering up a bugging of democratic HQ during an election that he won so thoroughly it's amazing he thought he even needed to have people do that. But those the breaks.
Trump has clearly shown he only cares about himself, and anyone who thinks he's the best. He's only the president of those who like him, and literally couldn't care less to being openly hostile to anyone who even questions, let alone opposes him. He's a moronic self adsorbed oaf who despite being like a broken clock and is only right twice a day, is treated by those who love him as some messianic pariah of truth. It's about him and only him, and anything that furthers himself. He couldn't hold dick nixon's jock strap when it came to doing what is best for america (and it's not like Nixon was all bad, and obviously not all good, I just think Nixon's motives were significantly less self interested than trump is), which is ironic given how much he's loved by Nixon is tattooed on my back Roger Stone.
