John Dean, the White House counsel for Richard Nixon during Watergate, blasted President Donald Trump on Sunday, calling him “evil” and saying his administration made Nixon’s corruption look comparatively like “a brief idyllic daydream.”
Trump’s is making the long nightmare of Nixon’s Watergate seem like a brief idyllic daydream. History will treat Nixon’s moral failures as relatively less troubling than Trump’s sustained and growing decadence, deviousness and self-delusive behavior. Nixon=corrupt; Trump=evil.
