Nixon and trump apparently share the same vision. trump obviously wants to be a king where no one can't touch him legally and he can snub his nose at the emoluments clause and make money off of foreign dignitaries patronizing his hotels to curry favor with him.

And he lives for free—free travel, free Big Macs, free security at his golf resorts (he charges the Secret Service for golf carts and rooms). Nice work if you can get it. What a racket.

said the Queen of Hearts!

5. He is looking to have the Putin oligarchy business model for the US

That is why he is such a fan. God forbid he won second term, I fully expect him demand term limits don't apply to him, because welll whatever happens to be good news at that time means he too wonderful for term limits to matter.
