10. There's a big difference between Nixon and Trump

Nixon loved his country. He truly believed he could do whatever the hell he wanted because the “right way to do things” wouldn’t get the country to where he thought it should be right now.

The only thing Trump really cares about is himself. He truly believes destroying the nation is acceptable if it puts more money in his pocket.

I’ve said it before and will again: Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that says The Buck Stops Here. Trump’s sign says What’s In It For Me?
