Donald Trump's Presidency

|
| Most of America thought that he botched the Clinton email scandal. | |
| All the Democrats thought he said too much, and all the Republicans thought he didn't do enough. | |
| So he had the confidence of almost no one. | |
| Why, when you talk to Democrats, do they still believe that there is collusion? | |
| It's sour grapes over the election. | |
| The whole Russia thing, I think, has been propagated by people who are upset they lost the election. | |
| They've sunk their teeth into something. | |
| They think they'll eventually find something. | |
| But everything is sort of built upon a huge myth as far as I'm concerned. | |
| Good evening. | |
| There are reports tonight that President Nixon has ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire the special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox. | |
| Scholars are comparing this to Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre. | |
| What do you make of those comparisons? | |
| Well, I think that's ridiculous. | |
| This is just the most preposterous pretext. | |
| This is an investigator who is investigating the White House. | |
| And he was just fired by the White House. | |
| This doesn't happen in the United States, except on October 20th, 1973, when Richard Nixon filed Archibald Cox. | |
| People see this as a real threat. | |
| I think we've taken a step away from rule of law toward the rule of a small group of people. | |
| And I also want to say that as a result of that, I feel vindicated, because I said that Donald Trump had become president, and he has become president, President Nixon. | |
| It just harkens back, I think, to some of the most tainted actions by President Nixon. | |
| Let's remember that we face a looming constitutional crisis, very much like happened in 1973, the Midnight Massacre. | |
| This episode has very much the feel of that chapter in our history, one that we should not repeat. | |
| Cox, Archibald Cox, fire him! | |
