2. I am in no way an apologist for Richard Nixon

But there is no comparison between Nixon and Trump.

Nixon was FAR smarter than Trump and accomplished many important things like stronger relationships with China and Russia. He truly did love the US, but his flaw was the hubris he had in thinking his way, and his way alone, was the only correct one for the US. But he deeply cared about this country, coming from a very impoverished background and working his way to the top. He was slimy, tricky, and engaged in criminal behavior, but NOTHING like Trump.

Trump is a spy/agent for Russia by contrast. He is stupid, and not self-made in any way. He has also accomplished nothing for America, except for racists and xenophobes.
