So, are we now dealing with Richard M. Trump or Donald J. Nixon?

The revocation by @realDonaldTrump of the security clearance of John Brennan is silly & vindictive. Brennan's criticism of @POTUS is not based on his current clearance. Trump's action won't silence Brennan. But it does remind Americans that Trump acts like Nixon more and more.

MSNBC panel warns that Donald Trump will soon reach a new low — here’s how

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/08/msnbcs-panel-warns-that-donald-trump-can-reach-a-new-level-of-low-and-heres-how/

During a White House press briefing, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced that President Trump would revoke the security clearance from former CIA Director John Brennan, and said the president was looking into the same action for other officials who also happen to oppose him.

On Wednesday, MSNBC political analyst Jonathan Alter compared President Trump’s “abuse of power” to Richard Nixon. Alter argued that President Trump’s decision to revoke security clearance from his enemies is unprecedented. “It’s a gross abuse of power. There’s no precedent for it in American history,” Alter said.

“Except if you switch the lens a little bit, so what Nixon did in auditing the tax returns of his enemies, wiretapping people inside the government who he didn’t trust, it’s in that department.” Alter said.

He suggested that President Trump’s impeachment is becoming more of a reality every day.

“That’s the kind of thing that this is. When they impeached Nixon, all of that was thrown into the rubric of abuse of power. If Donald Trump is impeached, and I think it’s becoming more likely every day, this will be revisited. It’s not illegal what he’s done, but it is a gross abuse of power,” he concluded.

5. 82 days till the midterms...

...that's where it begins, the beginning of the end of this nonsense.

I checked my voter status the other day, even though I am carrying the card and knew I was in. Didn't want any surprises. I'm ready.

2. Trixon!

The fact that his name sounds like a prostitute's is no coincidence.

4. Yes Trixon, with a propaganda machine Goebbels could only dream of.

Sounds about right.

7. I made it easy on myself.

I call them Fuckface#1 and Fuckface #2.

But in all seriousness, what trump is doing is far far worse than what Nixon was doing.
Nixon did not sell us out to another country, even if he did have grandiose and alcohol fueled delusions of grandeur.

6. Neither. The problem is we are dealing with a Senate and Congress

that will do nothing about his madness.
