Trump Says He's No Nixon Because 'He Left. I Don't Leave.'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump, facing calls for impeachment from some Democrats, sought on Monday to draw a contrast between himself and former President Richard Nixon, who resigned in 1974 before lawmakers could remove him from office.

“He left,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “I don’t leave. Big difference. I don’t leave. We did nothing wrong except create the greatest economy in the history of our country. We did nothing wrong except rebuild our military like nobody’s ever seen before.”

Trump’s comments came the same day John Dean, the former White House counsel to Nixon, testified before the House Judiciary Committee and drew comparisons between the president and his former boss. Following the testimony, Trump said “John Dean’s been a loser for many years.”

Some Democrats are pushing for impeachment proceedings linked to former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and whether the president obstructed justice.

[Skraxx]

1. Oh god, the thing that wouldn't leave

[bdamomma]

7. oh god,

I thought the same thing, he's a wanna be dictator. Crap haven't we been assaulted and abused enough.

He's a dangerous POS. It would take millions of us to send a very strong message that we need him out. Will climate change take us out or will he??

[Docreed2003]

2. And trump probably believes that crap too

Best economy and military in the history of our country...what bullocks

[CurtEastPoint]

4. We need a definitive graphic of the economy BEFORE Dump and now. Smoke and mirrors and lies

[maryellen99]

15. His brain dead supporters believe it too nt

[Skittles]

3. give it time, asshole

[KentuckyWoman]

5. Oh honey, you'll leave.

You can leave the easy way or the hard way, but you WILL leave.

[FakeNoose]

6. +1000 Well said!

[bdamomma]

10. I love it!!!

We will push back, not all of us are ignorant.

[delisen]

12. He actually sounds like he knows he will be leaving before his term is up

I wonder what kind of deal his lawyers are thinking they can get for him.

[KentuckyWoman]

20. Will Pence pardon him?

I am not opposed to investigating until redacted is voted out and then lower the boom while still in office. Limits the damage Pence can do.

For all Redacted's crimes, Pence the fundie nutbag could put us back in the dark ages inside of 6 months.

[jmowreader]

25. About the best deal they could give Trump is...

...a 24-hour head start.

[mahina]

22. He'd best believe the lawmen and women are going to be ready

To get it done when he loses the election.

You know, Donald- the honorable public servants whom you have disrespected for the last three years? Ya, those guys. And women. Sally Yates. Comey. Folks like that.

Enjoy your remaining 591 days, asshole. Less if we’re lucky.

8. Nixon created the EPA

Trump thinks climate change is a Chinese hoax

[Loki Liesmith]

9. "Nixon was more honorable than me"

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

11. Nixon wasn't planning on leaving until about two days before he did.

Just saying.

[delisen]

13. I believe George Bush the elder was one person who stopped by

the White House and told him it was time to go.

I wonder which old establishment Republican is going to fill that role this time.

[Brother Buzz]

29. Senator Goldwater, Senator Rhodes and Congressman Scott made the visit

However, George HW Bush, as Chairman of the Republican National Committee, did write a sternly worded private letter demanding he resign.

[Cha]

14. lol @ trumphuck trying to distance

himself from Nixon.. how stupid does he have to be?

[Blue Owl]

16. But Pence does

n/t

[Irishxs]

17. Nancy's plan is working out well. He's scared.

[Generic Brad]

21. That means he's scared and may resign

He is a moron and always telegraphs his next move. I don't think it will happen this summer, but the heat is getting to him and he is thinking about it.

He'll probably try a bonehead move like pardoning him and his family preemptively first, but when that doesn't work, he will bail.

[KentuckyWoman]

23. He has done what he came to do.

Time to split with the spoils and leave the bag of turds for someone else.

[uponit7771]

31. ..👍🏼

[gratuitous]

24. "I don't leave"

Can we get a second and third opinion from Ivana and Marla?

[democratisphere]

26. Yeah. They will have to remove him dragging and kicking.

[rownesheck]

27. He keeps

bragging about the "greatest buildup of the military" like it's a good thing. Sorry, but that ain't a good thing.

[sprinkleeninow]

28. Left msg. with Madame Speaker's office today.

"Whatmacallit Barr and commence impeachment proceedings. Thank you."

[I can't remember the term I used to fix barr.]

[LiberalFighter]

30. I don't want him to leave.

I want him to be removed from office. By force if necessary with impeachment.

[BSdetect]

32. He must not get a free pass to avoid prison. No quarter for him. Nada.

[LiberalFighter]

36. Totally agree. The family as well.

[scarytomcat]

33. That must mean he is thinking about it

Will he go or stay until he is dead?

[tavernier]

34. Like the oaf who crashed the party,

ate all the food, broke the plates, insulted the hosts, puked on the carpet, and stole the silver.

[spanone]

35. You're right trump, nixon was a petty thief, you are a major criminal.

[Johonny]

37. Trump's like racoon shit under the porch. He lingers forever stinking up the place.
