A lot can happen in 57 years.

In 1969 the corrupt President Nixon was president, the U.S. could not afford universal healthcare but did find the money to go to the moon while waging a war in Vietnam.

In 2026 the corrupt President Trump is president, the U.S. still cannot afford universal healthcare but does find the money to go to the moon while waging a war in Iran.

@randahl In my opinion, one major difference is that Nixon was intellectually brilliant while Trump is a narcissistic impostor and shameless liar. Nixon wasn’t corrupt in the sense that he took bribes. He was morally corrupt by overstepping legal boundaries (Watergate). Trump is made of other stuff. He made taking bribes a business model. He has the moral compass of a NY mobster. Laws, institutions and rules are meaningless to him.

Trump's backers and handlers are very different from Nixon's as well.
