Former President Donald Trump revealed today that Richard Nixon’s “biggest regret” was giving in to GOP pressure to resign during the Watergate impeachment crisis, a move the 45th president said he wouldn’t have made.
“His daughter actually told me that his biggest regret was that he didn't fight, he should have fought,” Trump said, without identifying which daughter. But, he added, Nixon lacked the public support needed to carry on.
“I'm not sure that that had an impact one way or the other,” he said, had Nixon resisted.
In a media roundtable to discuss the April 25 release of the president’s second post-presidency book, Letters to Trump, Secrets asked about his relationship with Nixon shown over 25 letters included in the book published by Winning Team Publishing, founded by Donald Trump Jr. and adviser Sergio Gor.

“until Noon today.”
That was not on the headline neither was it in an earlier copy of PARADE magazine in which she made the same failed prediction.
Nixon was set up by the same people as Trump. At the core was the 25th Amendment, directed by Rockefeller, and Kissinger’s assistant David Young.
‘WATERGATE AMENDMENT’, by John Fitzgerald great read.
All this tells me is Trump has no grasp of what happened to Nixon. I look at Watergate as another Deep State plan to rid itself of a president and that is about exactly what happened.
Both had elections stolen from them and both quit. At least Trump made a stink about it, but he still quit.
Nixon was a typical Republican politician. He was a quitter who surrounded himself with quitters.
He refused to challenge the vote fraud in Chicago in 1960 and gave the election to the Democrats. He should have fought harder for his presidency in 1974. Bill Clinton would never have resigned under similar circumstances.
Republicans have always been willing to surrender too easily.
The Bush administrations were horrible. They never fought back.
We need fighters. Not wimps.
You know what I imagine? A man in black got into the presidential limo with Trump; fedora, sunglasses, trench coat. He handed Trump a big manila envelope. Trump pulled out black and white photos of Barron, Ivanka and Melania with reticles over their faces. The man in black said, "You're not firing anybody else. You're not finishing the wall. You're not opposing the COVID agenda or the coming election steal in any material way. If you do, we will kill them. This is my only explanation for the betrayal and abandonment.
What should he have done? Assassinated Joe? Stormed the capitol?
The whole world stood against him, other than some Freepers and like-minded others.

4 of the 5 Watergate burglars were on the CIA payroll.
Woodward was never a reporter before joining the WaPo. He was an Intelligence community analyst.
“Deepthroat” was an assistant FBI Director whose day job was leaking misinformation to newspapers to discredit politicians that made the FBI look bad.
Jean Dixon predicted that President Kennedy would be assassinated - in December 1963.
“Not tarnishing the presidency”.
That was part of it, but I think not tarnishing America was foremost. Nixon tried to suppress “The Pentagon Papers”. A damning old report on how Johnson was running the war.
The gap in the tapes came right after Nixon’s comments along the lines of “And it will bring up the whole Cuban thing.” Some of the plumbers were Cubans that had been involved in the Bay of Pigs, and I wonder if they or there group had also been involved with the CIA and the asassination of JFK?
Later on I read where Haldeman thought the same thing. Boy - talk about tarnishing America. That may have come out in a trial.
Interesting that Trump was recently reported to have said something like “If you saw what I saw about the JFK thing, you wouldn’t want it released either.”
Trump had two realistic options to actually make something happen. What he did or call for an uprising. The court system or the deep state was not really an option
Papa Joe Kennedy’s election theft on behalf of his son got his sons killed and left him with only feckless Ted.
Nixon knew from being Eisenhower’s VP that the deepstate was metastasizing, growing and getting quite bold.
I think the only reason they’ve given up assassination in favor of character assassination and election theft is technology that makes the former way more risky (ubiquitous cell phone cameras)and the latter much easier and cheaper (internet and algorithms).
He lost it when he lost Governor Wallace, who could’ve assured him Southern Democrats, and based on the evidence provided in the committee that should be on the reasonable doubt that he had committed some crimes Wallace said “sorry, Mr. President can’t support you“… He hung up the phone and said “well, Henry I just lost the presidency” and of course there was Hugh Scott, Barry Goldwater, and John Rhodes visiting, gave him the word, but there was no way for the sake of the country that he needed
to stay on, and I fully agreed at the time and I do today… This does not take away from Nixon, some of his greatest accomplishments in international affairs, which today would be decried here as “deep state”, and globalist, but obstruction of justice and the cover up, hush money was what it was. Sound familiar? . He was up to it in his neck..period. Full stop. Sad story sad ending.
I tell you I was ready on January 20 2021 to drop what I was doing and take everything I had to form ranks in a civil war. But Trump told me to, and I quote, "Go home in peace."
If we weigh losses in a hypothetical civil war against the real time losses in the coup we are literally suffering now, yes there would be deaths and injuries but our morale in having joined the ranks of our forefathers in taking back our country would be off the charts. Compare that to the current state of morale and the deaths and injuries and socio political economic sabotage that is happening anyway while we're remaining peaceful.
I guess we're just going to have to sit back and hope that behind the scene somewhere the hobbits are still out there. "No news of Frodo. Nothing. No word."
It’s the same thing he said about not fighting the 1960 Election.
JFK secrets....
That and the UFO secrets are apparently safe with Trump.
Too bad.
Spot on! I read some of briefs by Pro-Trump attorneys Lin Woods and Sidney Powell. The phrase, “a slubby mass of words” comes to mind.
Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while.
