Donald Trump once received a letter encouraging him to run for president from the only man to have resigned from office: Richard Nixon.
I guess Tricky Dick and wife Pat saw something in Trump back in the 80s that many Americans are seeing for themselves today.
What’s kind of weird though, is that Nixon was a Republican, and when he sent this letter to “the Donald,” Trump was most certainly still a Democrat.
On Dec. 21 of that year, Mr. Nixon, the former president, dashed off an admiring letter to the real estate developer, according to a new biography of Mr. Trump, “Never Enough,” by Michael D’Antonio.
Pat Nixon, the former first lady, had just caught Mr. Trump’s appearance on Donahue, the daytime talk show, in which Mr. Trump spoke of what ailed America and how to fix it.

The “dirt” being dug up on Trump is really hilarious.
I heard he had a detention in high school.
All these crazy stories are beginning to sound like stuff concocted by people who don't wish him well.
OMG...Trump financed Watergate!!
“...a letter encouraging him to run for president from the only man to have resigned from office...”
Three errors in one sentence fragment. Still, an interesting artifact.

I Don’t know who these guys are but they desperately need to change their link.
Richard Nixon, the man vilified for doing no worse and probably less reprehensible things than other Presidents. Amazing that he is vilified for Vietnam when it is Kennedy that pushed us there and LBJ who buried us there, while his administration got us out, ugly as it was. How many American soldiers died because Kennedy and LBJ were to cheap to have chrome lined barrels in the M-16 rifles when they were first being manufactured?
“Richard Nixon Wrote Donald Trump a Letter in 1987 Encouraging him to Run for Office”
And 2-3 years later, Trump stated the following and much more from the left.
On the issues
http://www.ontheissues.org/donald_trump.htm
Donald Trump on Abortion
Pro-choice, but ban partial birth abortion. (Jul 2000)
Favors abortion rights but respects opposition. (Dec 1999)
Donald Trump on Gun Control
For assault weapon ban, waiting period, & background check. (Jul 2000)
Donald Trump on Health Care
We must have universal health care. (Jul 2000)
Donald Trump on Tax Reform
One-time 14.25% tax on wealth, to erase national debt. (Nov 1999)
Tax assets over $10 million, paid over 10 years. (Nov 1999)
These libtards are idiots. If this is the best they’ve got, the MSM is in deep pathetic trouble. And back in HS, I even defended Nixon in a term paper as my moron classmates swallowed the liberal mantra about Watergate.
here’s a story. When Arnold Schwarzenegger went to America, he watched a debate between Nixon and his buffoon Dummycrat rival. Ahnold was stunned at how the Dem spoke like he was some socialist puppet. Nixon was talking about freedom and free economics. Arnold stated that he escaped socialist Austria and now he’s hearing a Dem talk like a dictator to him. That’s why he became a Pubbie’.
Why, I 'member a time he stepped on a cat's tail. Yessir, a real cat.
That damned cat screamed so loud it toppled the cooling pies off the window sill, and momma came out a cursin' in the most wicked way, chasing us down the street until she wore herself out.
So you prefer your candidates to keep their thoughts to themselves until AFTER the election, like Paul Ryan and Mario Rubio.
Trump once returned a library book late.
What do the little young morons think about Obama, the king of the scofflaws?
Trump was at US Open today watching the tennia match. America was watching him.
When word gets out about Trump returning the library book late he will be FINISHED.
He probably got sent to juvenile hall when he was 12 for womanizing! And his hair!☺

The man, apparently, didn't exist.
Tricky Dick?? These young cons are really historically ignorant aren’t they?
The worst thing Richard M. Nixon did had nothing to do with Watergate. HE is responsible for the EPA and all the damage to this country it has caused.
I think he was also the father of OSHA.
Still a smart complicated man after all these years.
