Richard Nixon “proved unable to shut down an FBI investigation of the Watergate break-in and ultimately resigned over the attempted coverup.” Some “extreme Nixonites” believe President Nixon “should have fought harder. Trump, who loves to talk about himself as a fighter, isn’t making that mistake. For this reason, we should expect more of the same…and a deepening crisis for the nation. All of this in service to one man’s state of mind.”
