FILE - In this Nov. 17, 1973 file photo, President Richard Nixon speaks near Orlando, Fla. to the Associated Press Managing Editors annual meeting. Nixon told the APME "I am not a crook." There were two men in 1980s Manhattan who craved validation — one a past president, one a future president.
Trump, for his part, is unabashed about one of his aims for the relationship: “One of my great ambitions is to have the Nixons as residents in Trump Tower,” he writes that October. The two men bonded over themes that resonate today: a shared distrust of the media, a desire to maximize TV ratings, the idea of using people as “props,” and more.
Trump, even now, is never one to let a grievance against the press go unaired, his strained relations with the media unsurpassed by Nixon or other presidents.John Dean, well versed in Nixon’s personality after serving as his White House counsel during the Watergate years, sees his old boss and Trump picking up “the waves of each other’s personalities” in their letters.
Jim Byron, executive vice president of the Richard Nixon Foundation, said the letters were located during two years of research in library archives that include 46 million pages of material, 300,000 photographs and 2 million feet of film. They are the centerpiece of an exhibit — The Presidents Club: From Adams and Jefferson to Nixon and Trump — that also includes correspondence between five other sets of presidents.

_Politics 👇🏽 Real News. You might want to get on this:
_Politics Is this supposed to be this week’s ‘gotcha’? Wow this is pathetic.
Could you be ANY more biased?
And yet still compared to the two opponents the socialists have offered up, Hillary and Joe, he's easily the better choice.

Hunter Biden’s Business Dealings Created ‘Counterintelligence And Extortion Concerns,’ Senate Report Says U.S. banks flagged multiple suspicious transactions involving Hunter, including with a Chinese businessman and a Russian billionaire
You need to declare your in-kind donations to Joe Biden! What about his son’s massive payout from a Moscow mayor’s wife? You need to report on that. You know... equal time and all. I never thought I’d see the day when AP became a political shill!
realDonaldTrump was validated by the people in 2016, he will be re-validated again this fall.
Trump CRAVES he and his family be treated as ROYALTY... DO IT America....Russian Romanov Royal Family style
If your opinions are always anti Trump, then you're not a news organization. You're an activist organization. Therefor any 'news' coming out of you are not news at all.
Guilt by association? I’m sure Trump had no more idea about Nixon’s character than the rest of us.
Honest to god what a dumb article. Will you stop at nothing to try to make the President look bad. Go vet bidens past and letters.
Trump wrote from his office in Trump Tower; Nixon from his at Federal Plaza. The two men bonded over themes that resonate today: a shared distrust of the media, a desire to maximize TV ratings, the idea of using people as “props,” and more.
Trump is worse than Nixon!
You folks working overtime to take Trump down. Where's Hunter BTW?
Lol running out of propganda? This is a huge stretch lol now do JFK and his comments on Hitler mr TIMES man of the YEAR.... twice lol
Nixon does not compare to the crooked Democrats. He is a lightweight Compared to the democrat demons of today
don't surprise me
Nixon was setup, he was blackmailed and disgraced. Watergate was a false flag setup scandal, we may not ever know what real dirt they had on Nixon. If Watergate were so bad, why isnt Obama in trouble for spying on Trump's 2016 camapign?
Haha haha
Does dick_nixon wish to provide any comment?
AP should prove to the American public that it's not just a political tool and demand release of the Biden Senate records.
must have been after Roger Stone showed him his Nixon back tattoo 🙄
The person in common between corrupt Richard Nixon and corrupt Donald Trump? Corrupt Roy Cohn.
Same reason he chases Putin. His Dad didn't show him love so he seeks hard men's approval.
There's never been a crook or a dictator trump doesn't love.
AP does propaganda now.
Well that explains a lot
