It is no accident . . .

. . . that Frost/Nixon is now on Netflix.

I had forgotten what a swine Nixon was in ways tawdry and contemptible as well as larger and more frightening.

He and Trump are much of a muchness, the key differences being that Nixon was by far much better informed, much smarter, took his job a lot more seriously, and did it way, way better.

He really was a loyal man who wanted to leave America better off and stronger, within the limits of his insuperable petty vindictiveness and consuming ambition.

Trump would trash America in a fit of pique - if he hasn't already - and otherwise could not care less about the country or his actual job as president.

He is useless or worse in pretty much all respects, and has been since day one.
