17. Comparison of Trump to Nixon is like asking which smells worse pig excrement or human excrement

Let us remember that Nixon, while a intelligent man, did come up with the "Southern Strategy", he committed treason by telling the South Vietnamese government to block the peace agreement that LBJ was negotiating to stop the war, he continued the war with >25,000 additional American soldiers KIA (& several times that wounded) with hundreds of thousands more Vietnamese killed, and he expanded the war to Cambodia. Further, by employing the Southern Strategy, Nixon pushed the Republican Party much further to the right and picked up all the segregationists that had been in the Democratic Party. This set it all up for Reagan and eventually Trump.

Yes, Nixon did sign the legislation that established the EPA, but he did that because he was a practical politician who was able to recognize that even his own party was willing to support the legislation. At that time, the Republican Party was not yet a wholly owned subsidiary of the fossil fuel (Oil, gas & coal) industry.

The big difference between Nixon & Trump is that Nixon was an actual politician, while Trump is a wanna be dictator. As such Nixon could actually win majorities in elections; Trump cannot do that. Trump can only win if we don't vote and his willing partners (Russia, are you listening?) rig the vote.
