On the Vietnam war documentary?

Thing Nixon and south Vietnam pulled in the election of 1968.

but there are similarities. Nixon was a crook but he wasn't totally crazy like trump is... and we'd been in that war for a long time before Nixon came along with his secret plan to end the war.

I still don't think he was crazy like trump is. He was desperate to cover up what they'd done and he was despicable, but not crazy. IMHO Look at their actions that are not illegal, what they've done as president. Nixon at least gave us the EPA. Trump is eager to give us dirty water and air.

We are strong. We are resilient . We are exceptional.

Us doomed ? No, man. It's Trump who is doomed.

Keep the faith !
I know you have it.
