Trump vs. Nixon

[ysabetwordsmith]

Here's an amusing comparison of Trump vs. Nixon in the scandal department.  Pouring facts on Trump is like pouring salt on a slug, so I expect a lot more entertainment from these investigations and accusations as they unfold.

Woo? Enough truthiness and the ferrethead will simply shrivel up and BE NOT?!

Let's get him some encyclopaedias!

Well ...

Pretty much his entire life is built on a pack of lies. This is easily discerned from even brief observation. What usually happens when you add truth to that much falsehood?

I disagree. He ignores reality, it's deflected by his ego. Look at the years that he's gotten by with casually stiffing contractors, destroying some of their companies in the process. I found this particularly vexing in the election: how is he going to help small businesses when he has hurt so many of them over the years?

I remember an occasion when he was giving a deposition, he was being sued for contract violation, and under oath was asked to read the contract for the record. He didn't have his "reading glasses". He's never been seen needing reading glasses. When provided some by one of the attorneys present, "these aren't mine", he stumbled through the contract, paraphrasing, never reading it exactly as it was printed, which was what the attorneys wanted and he did not.

Even now it's "He was a small volunteer with the campaign" when major people come under investigation.

No, I don't think he's a man troubled by facts or the truth. All he's concerned about is having lots of money and being perceived as very rich and powerful.

I expect what you'll see is that if he ever has to stand trial after he's out of office is 'He's an old man and might have some dementia and just can't remember all these details, besides, they were all delegated to other people and he can't remember who they were.'

So we OJ him. Everybody that's ever been hurt by him piles on in one stupendous class-action suit, and we leave him destitute and penniless, begging on the streets of the f***ingBronx.

If we live that long.

I would be happy to see him tied up in court for the rest of his unnatural life.  He's the kind of guy who was born on third and thinks he hit a triple and I have nothing but contempt for him and the contempt he shows. I laughed out loud when that Twitter employee deleted his account for 11 minutes.  That was hilarious.
