With Trump we're seeing what Nixon would have been had he had no consequences for his actions.
/----/ Nah, Nixon tried appeasing the Libtards by creating the EPA and signing the Clean Water Act. Trump would never do that. Aside from his handling of the Watergate cover up, Nixon was not a bad president:

Nixon undertook a number of important reforms in welfare policy,
civil rights, law enforcement, the
environment, and other areas. Nixon’s proposed Family Assistance Program (FAP), intended to replace the service-oriented Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), would have provided working and nonworking poor families with a guaranteed annual income—though Nixon preferred to call it a “negative income tax.” Although the measure was defeated in the Senate, its failure helped to generate support for
incremental legislation incorporating similar ideas—such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which provided a guaranteed income to the elderly, the blind, and the disabled; and automatic cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for Social Security recipients—and it also prompted the expansion and improvement of existing programs, such as food stamps and
health insurance for low-income families. In the area of civil rights, Nixon’s administration instituted so-called “set aside” policies to reserve a certain percentage of jobs for minorities on federally funded construction projects—the first “
affirmative action” program. Although Nixon opposed school busing and delayed taking action on
desegregation until federal court orders forced his hand, his administration drastically reduced the percentage of
African American students attending all-black schools. In addition, funding for many federal civil rights agencies, in particular the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), was substantially increased while Nixon was in office. In response to pressure from consumer and environmental groups, Nixon proposed legislation that created the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). His revenue-sharing program, called “New Federalism,” provided state and local governments with billions of federal tax dollars."
