    1. Trump has apparently ordered staffers not to mention Nixon's name, which is of course hilarious but also telling. Trump is Nixon's heir and, one hopes, the twilight of Nixonism.pic.twitter.com/v0SS5EE2as

        2. Nixon was the president that broke the New Deal coalition and initiated the modern lurch to the right but he was transitional figure & still kept some of the older big government programs. Subsequent GOP (and some Dems) have kept to the Nixon formula.

        3. The linkages between Trump and Nixon are many. Trump's mentor Roy Cohn was an old Nixon ally in McCarthy era. Roger Stone -- of Nixon tattoo fame -- is Trump's oldest political crony.pic.twitter.com/IzX2pAvl9e

        4. Yet to bring up Nixon's name underscores Trump's weaknesses & limits. Say what you will about Nixon but at least he had an intellect: a devious one that also had some complexity. More here:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-nixon-impeachment/ …

        What's really funny is that North Korea was supposed to be his big "Nixon in China" moment.

        Nixon could only aspire to the depths Trump has reached

        Nixon's impeachment and resignation were essentially what birthed modern conservative punditry/media! The mission being explicitly: let's make sure the media can't take down another one of our Presidents. Explains a lot about their legacy with Trump.

        As @jaketapper notes, this is unfair to Nixon.

        Nixon was properly Shakespearean at least
