    Nixon and I can’t believe I’m saying this, was so much more human, he was a colossal piece of shit but I think he had some, not much but some modicum of a sense of duty to someone besides Nixon. That sense of duty was to to GOP, hence the stepping down, which is still terrible, but it’s something. There’s not a shred of doubt in my mind that Trump would kill anyone and everyone on this planet without feeling if it meant anything would be slightly better for himself.

      Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency. He’s OK in my book.

        He only did it because Congress was already starting to move forward with the creation of the Department of Environmental Protection, which he wouldn’t have had as much control over as an agency.
