Re Trump said he learned from Nixon “don’t fire anyone”:
I don’t understand why he’d say this. He did an entire TV show on firing people. His most famous line is, “You’re fired!” He fired Comey and many others.
Is he playing with people here? This just fuels the TDS crowd’s perception that he’s a liar. I just don’t get this.
Nixon did the Saturday Night Massacre against the special counsel that was working the Watergate case. That set of firings (Nixon was referred to as a “Cox sacker”) was effectively used to remove Nixon from office.
Old pepole and those who study histlry got the association. Imagine if Trump had fired Mueller and Rosenstein. He certainly would have been in the right doing so.
