5. Sorry, Bob, as bad as Trump is, he is NOT worse than Nixon.

Nixon committed treason when he violated the Logan Act, using third parties, to sabotage the 1968 Paris Peace Talks, and then, after he was elected, he literally dragged the Vietnam War out four more years to ensure his re-election, hammering out an agreement almost identical to the one LBJ tried to negotiate. Watergate still remains poorly understood despite new information that has been around for years. Watergate and the Chennault Affair go together, with the thread of the Vietnam War tying them together.

Nixon's dragging out that war cost hundreds of thousands of lives and damaged this country in such a way it has never recovered. There should never been an attempt to impeach Nixon. He should have been tried at The Hague instead.
