Downfall of Richard Nixon

A fine documentary that I found on YouTube, produced by Robert Redford.  It takes a look back at Watergate break-in, Bernstein and Woodward, the Saturday Night Massacre, and Nixon's impeachment.  As bad as all  that was, I think what we're experiencing with Donald Trump is worse.
At least I didn't feel afraid of the Nixon presidency, never heard him say the word "shit" (not on record, anyway), and Nixon did have a lot better command of the English language, respect for women, and he had a law degree.

Trump said, to paraphrase, "why do we want people from these shit hole countries coming over here?  [referring to Haiti and African Nations].  We should want the Norwegians" (paraphrased).  Then he denied he said these things.
