Nixon has enough sense to lock himself in the White House and give out comments and info only in very controlled and scripted manners.
Trump gets mad sitting on the toilet watching foxnews and sends out incoherent tweets.

All I can say is: Sir, thank you Mr President. You are making our job easy.

Some are sure flirting with it--like Mulvaney today. nt tblue37 Oct 2019 #1
