What Nixon taught Barack and President Trump
Don Surber Blogspot ^ | 9 May 2020 | DonSurber

The shadow of President Richard Milhous Nixon was much longer than his aborted presidency. Nearly a half century after his resignation, he has taught the last 2 presidents very different lessons.

President Donald John Trump learned how to handle the press and the deep state by avoiding the mistakes of President Nixon.

Obama learned that instead of using his campaign people to spy on political opponents, he would just turn the FBI into the KGB and do his evil work. Obama's thugs lied 17 times to a federal judge to spy on President Trump. Obama did so realizing there would be no penalty, and to date not even a lowly agent has been indicted.

On Fox this morning, President Trump openly admitted he learned from President Nixon's mistakes.

Our president said, "I study history, and the firing of everybody — I should’ve in one way, but I’m glad I didn’t, because look at the way it turned out. They’re all a bunch of crooks and they got caught."

When Obama politicized the IRS without repercussions, it was a glimpse into how he viewed government agencies and how he believed they could be put to use to work his political will. It turns out to be just the tip of the iceberg.

Obama was elected to placate the P.C. world. I thought he was a HORRIBLE POTUS.
I remember how he HUMILIATED the USA by "kowtowing" to the Japanese Prime Minister.
What a moron. I assumed that "his people" told him about the depths of bows and what they meant. Moron Obama bowed as a BOOT LICKER...nothing more.

The Demo/garchs DO NOT yet have sufficient control of the govt and that control is slipping daily.

All of this was supposed to happen under Hillary.....they never counted on Trump and are obsessed with removing him from office.

<><> The Demoslobs were planning going to turn the world into a police state one way or the other before the election.

<><> The world, via the Internet, is getting wise to their trickery, they are out of time, period.

<><> The Demogarchs absolutely cannot let Trump get in for a second term.

<><> The slobs are cashing in on the virus-—suspending civil liberties,

<><> getting Democrat goons to LEGISLATE our rights into the dustbin of history.

***I remember how he HUMILIATED the USA by “kowtowing” to the Japanese Prime Minister. ***

Reminds me of an old MAD Magazine cartoon from the 1960s on how we see the Japanese differently long after the war.

The cartoon showed FDR bowing to the emperor of Japan and apologizing for the ear damage done to the Japanese pilots flying overhead when US ships blew up underneath them.

And I still believe the only reason Obama was reelected was voters just could not throw the handle for a mormon. I had no problem. I wanted Obama out!

May Obama’s reign be as well remembered, as that of Pope Joan. Yes Pope Joan.

That's an interesting take on it.

Fraud. Never forget fraud. No demonrat should ever be viewed as a decent person again.

Fortunately for us deplorable’s - there is the Internet ! and everybody has a cell phone in a video camera ! and everything has a time and date stamp!!

There is also talk radio

The fact is that the liberals and television do not control the narrative of America anymore

Not by a long shot and especially not for the younger generations growing up

Old people still watch television young people do not

Do you notice how there’s never really been a liberal that’s ever made it on talk radio?

Hope some of the folks who slammed the President for not conducting mass firings take note...he did his homework.

That is hilarious!
Thanks for sharing.

================================

Wikipedia
Pope Joan was, according to legend, a woman who reigned as pope for a few years during the Middle Ages. Her story first appeared in chronicles in the 13th century and subsequently spread throughout Europe.

The story was widely believed for centuries, but most modern scholars regard it as fictional.

Legendary date of birth: 818 AD

There have always been cons. I bet some folks made a lot of money off of this legend.

================================

I still believe the only reason Obama was reelected was voters just could not throw the handle for a mormon.

I agree 100%.

Hopefully Obama will become a forgotten myth in the not too distant future. That is why I compared him to Pope Joan.
