Watergate Reporters Slam ‘Seditious’ Donald Trump As Worse Than Nixon

Nixon’s attempts to destroy his political opponents and subvert democracy were exposed by journalists, congressional committees, and countless investigations.

In the end, Nixon became the first president in American history to resign from his position.

Trump, meanwhile, “sought to destroy the electoral system through false claims of voter fraud and unprecedented public intimidation of state election officials,” and then refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power.

Trump’s bid to cling to power “exceeded even Nixon’s imagination,” according to Woodward and Bernstein.
