(34,006 posts)I survived Nixon, but was too young to vote. Life was pretty much status quo during his term. Johnson was president from when I was in second through eighth grade. Nixon was eighth through senior year. To me, the country was pretty much the same with both presidents. There was more turmoil during Johnson's presidency. Nixon's crimes were white collar and under the radar and took alot of digging to find out. Trump is "out there" crazy.
Trump wants to destroy the country.
Nixon was corrupt.
Rating of GOP Presidents in my life
Ford
Bush (1989) (tie)
Nixon (tie)
GW Bush
Reagan
Trump
Eisenhower was president when I was born, but I don't remember him, so I can't rate him. Most rank Eisenhower as the best GOP president of the past 100 years.
Nixon is pretty much tied with the George HW Bush in my book.
Reagan was worse than Nixon
Trump is worse than Reagan
Trump's first term his harm was more on par with Reagan's harm. (Although different)
This term, he's much worse than Reagan.
