You know, you can post more than a sentence from a blog. Especially a blog that makes it impossible for a reader to read the text of the blog.

How Richard Nixon predicted a Trump Presidency

He once debated mosh pits with Marilyn Manson.

In December, 1987, Donahue interviewed Trump on his show. Phil Donahue didn’t pull punches. From the get-go, he grilled Trump on his real estate management practices and the rumors associated with his “empire.” In the middle of the interview, Trump tells Donahue he’s able to be honest because he’s “not running for office,” after defending his policies – to the applause of a middle-class audience.

The look of surprise on Donahue’s face was clear, as he shouted “let’s hear it for the rich folks.” The debate over rent control continued for another ten minutes and the studio audience weren’t the only viewers impressed with the Donald’s performance, one viewer at home was also suitably impressed: Pat Nixon.

The former First Lady of the United States was so impressed with Trump’s responses to Donahue’s grilling that she told her husband, 37th President of the United States Richard Nixon. Nixon might have agreed with his wife, as he took the time to write to Trump:

Dear Donald,

I did not see the program, but Mrs. Nixon told me you were great on the Donahue show.
As you can imagine, she is an expert on politics and she predicts that whenever you decide to run for office, you will be a winner!

The letter was stored away in the Nixon Presidential Library Archives until the author of a 2015 biography of Trump, called “Never Enough,” included it in the memoir of then-soon-to-be Presidential candidate Trump.

Trump’s interview on Donahue covered much more than rent control in New York City. His rhetoric was similar to the arguments he would come to use as a presidential candidate, including the idea of making American allies pay for the “services we are rendering” in providing for their defense.

Trump's people should craft an electronic display upon entering the Trump Presidential Library, maybe 80 feet wide by 50 feet high, and feature this letter, among many other predictions made that Trump would be President...

Nixon made an appearance at Oxford in 1978 (see youtube below - he spends most of the time answering the student’s questions. REALLY good!).

He predicts (18:40) that before the end of the century, a graduate from Oxford will probably be the president of the USA. In 1978, Bill Clinton was an alumni and was Attorney General of Arkansas and rising quickly.
