minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink20•edit-26 days ago Nixon didn’t make a fuss about it. Nixon was a normal politician. He too had an overinflated ego, because all politicians do by nature. But he was also capable of showing restraint. Trump is in a leage of his own however. His ego would barely be contained in a high-pressure vessel, and he’s so crooked he makes Nixon look straight.
