"Trump is far more comparable to Teddy Roosevelt than Nixon - but I understand you want to go for the cheap shots."

Roosevelt?! The guy who gave us the Income Tax, the death tax, out of control presidential executive orders, started the deep state via the FBI, FDA, and many other unconstitutional bureaucracies, and initiated America’s destruction by getting us into bed with the biased media?!

That's a pretty low blow there.

I forgot about this for a second in my above post. Teddy also was the first president in U.S. history to implement price controls.

Trump has precious little in common with someone that has so many left wing policies.

I think you’re confusing Teddy with his cousin FDR. The 16th, 17th Amendments, along with the Federal Reserve Act all happened in 1913 under Wilson, long after Teddy had departed the scene.

Having served out McKinley’s term and then been reelected in 1904, in 1908 he passed the baton to Taft, his hand-picked successor, and then changed his mind in 1912. When he didn’t get the Republican nod he formed his “Bull Moose” party that split the R vote allowing Wilson to take over.
