trump sucked up to nixon for years. it involved a lot of things. he wrote him letters. aside from this, one this was from nixon to trump. trump wrote nixon letter saying you are a great man. i admire you so much. he took nixon on his playing. at least one journey to texas at the end of the 19 80s. he kept on trying to get him to buy the apartment in trump tower. essentially, they had, you, know a couple of things and common. it was a pretty cavalier attitude of the use of presidential power and abuse. i believe that gerald ford s pardoning of richard nixon was a big message to donald trump that the presidency, if you are elected to it, it s a free crime zone. gerald ford said nixon had suffered enough. the country cannot withstand the ordeal of seeing a former president go to prison. my feeling is, if ford had
insisted on an indictment, at least nixon would ve gotten fingerprinted and was indicted, and at least want to trial i think there s a possibility that trump would have not been so eager to test the limits of penalties for grabbing too much power and breaking the law. ford may have won the election in 76. the other aspect, i will get your thoughts on, are the aids. seemingly ancillary players. they actually are important figures in how this narrative plays itself out. like nixon, these aides face charges. what does the experience from the aids that were around nixon who got in trouble went to jail say about what could potentially happen with nauta and delight de oliveira here in
you know, this is an old tradition from the 1930s and i just don t think it will matter much to republican s, because they take that as a signal that trump is doing things right. we have a minute left. i want to get your thoughts on ron desantis who is floating this idea that if you become president, he will pardon trump. is this a missed opportunity for the sentence once again to carve out that space by the donors want him to carve out to go after trump? yes, it is. at this point desantis has been damaged goods. it s exactly what tom says. imagine if we are at the augusta beating trump decides not to show up. the moderator asks the republican candidates about the indictments against him. those republican candidates with the exception of chris christie are going to sit around and mouth the same defenses that trump himself will be making. that is like the weird topsy-turvy world that we live in where not only are the other

i know. listen, i know the truth, the truth is hard. but if we elect donald trump, we are willingly giving joe biden four more years in the white house and america can t handle that. will hurd got booed telling the truth. telling the truth. that proved the latest on the gop voters are not ready to move on from trump. at what cost? could trump s mounting legal troubles helped turn the needle? we ll, you know, the bulwark, he writes this. one classic wisecrack of the trump era is lol, nothing matters. the idea gleaned from bitter experiences that nothing trump does, no matter how bad it is, will turn republicans against him. they re locked in. but are they? and you survey found 25% of republicans now think trump broke the law with his handling
