Tricky Dick was an awful person. One of Trump’s strange effects is that he’s made Mr. Nixon seem less awful. Aka “normalization” … as filtered through our perception of history.
Amen. ReTrumpliKKKlans are loyal to Trump “Uber Alles.” Don’t let things like the truth or civil liberties or the Constitution stand in the way of supporting our Beloved Leader.
trump has been a crook and proud of it his whole life.. do whatever you can get away and as president he has enlisted the entire Republican party to go along.
tRump has accomplished that which I never thought anyone could. tRump has elevated Bush2 and Nixon to be the worst president in our history. All courtesy of the Republican/conservatives.
Trump vowed he would “drain the swamp” of Washington, D.C. Instead he has unleashed a tsunami of sleaze the likes of which we may never fully recover from!
In Nixon days, the Republicans had Senator Howard Baker, a man of integrity, as ranking member on the Senate Watergate investigating committee. Today there is Moscow Mitch McConnell as Senate majority leader. Compare and contrast.
trump is ALSO a fraud, a liar, a cheat, a con-man, a traitor, a collaborator, a criminal, a thoroughly disreputable excuse for a human being, and he needs to be put down like a rabid dog before he destroys America once and for all!
The biggest legacy so far of the Trump’s presidency is that it is now normal to have confusion, obfuscation, lying and so many other negative situations as being the norm.
Mike Peterson, at Comic Strip of the Day discusses this cartoon and others, and calls it “the most succinct explanation I’ve seen yet of the difference between Nixon and Trump.”
CSOTD is always worth reading, but especially today.
The comparisons between Tricky D and Buttercup put the off-beat behaviors of Slick Willie and Thunderthighs into the back of the closet. But they’ll be back again if they get an opening.

Incredible cartoon, Jeff. I can give you only one heart, but this is outstanding.

Mr. President must be forgetting about his “Best By” date and term limits.

A megalomaniac and a mega-egomaniac in one suit. How lucky can we be?

And there you have it…all in a nutshell. Trump knows he can get away with whatever he does, because the Congress won’t stop him.

Absolutely, frighteningly, repulsively, disgustingly, nauseatingly, sickeningly TRUE AND ACCURATE!!

“So What” sums up trumps world view of what doesn’t swoon around him.

In any rational society, his own words would brand him a liar and cheat.

In comparison to Hump, Nixon is almost admireable if not down right ethical.

Nixon got men on the moon. All trump has done is getting citizenship for a lesbian Slovenian porn actress and her family…

All Republicans are crooks, vindictive liars and thieves these days, it’s par for their course.

At least, so the saying goes, Nixon cared about the country and the Constitution.

Oh, and how could I forget the obstruction of justice and the law! Sorry for not pointing out that oversight …

Despite the humor, that is just about correct. Trump knows what he is doing and does not give a damn.

Nixon rehabilitated himself – trump will build a hotel in North Korea – that the citizen can’t afford.
