One thing about Nixon is that he is the only president to give the public hours of alternatingly sappy conversational exchanges with his men (erlichman and haldeman) and off the cuff paranoid diatribes. he'll be like "goddammit. I'll be honest. when the sun hits a man in a certain way, I feel like a woman, Eric" one minute and the next just "the Russians think it's okay to lie, they lie! Maybe we can invent a type of insect that EATS opium crops in the MIDDLE EAST!" If he was a comedian he would have been my favourite extremely problematic one of the 70s
