Trump made the comment on the same day that John Dean, the former Nixon White House counsel, appeared before the House Judiciary Committee.

President Donald Trump, whose actions during the Russia investigation have prompted comparisons to the Watergate scandal, drew a distinction between himself and President Richard Nixon on Monday: “He left. I don’t leave. A big difference.”

The president spoke to reporters a short while later from the South Lawn of the White House and answered questions about the possibility of impeachment. Story continuesEven before Dean appeared, the president wrote on Twitter that he was a “disgraced Nixon White House Counsel who is a paid CNN contributor” and that “Democrats just want a do-over which they’ll never get!”

On Monday, he told Congress that the Mueller report was a “road map” for the impeachment of Trump, and focused on actions by the president that he said constituted obstruction of justice. Mueller’s nearly two-year investigation found no criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia leading up to the 2016 election, but it also did not clear the president of possible obstruction.

Let's kick him out then.

So you admit that you are guilty and criminal as Nixon just not as smart as Nixon was to get out! Shows how stupid he really is! Dumber then Nixon!

Ivana and Marla and Barron might disagree. True they are better off with you gone, but your statement is still flat wrong. AGAIN!

Wont you be shocked when you do leave

This proved that Trump is a worse president than Nixon. Trump cares only about his own welfare, not the nation's welfare.

That'll make em go nuts 😂 doesn't take much these days 🤣

Oh goodie. We will get the chance to remove him against his will. Sounds like a good time.

Trump: “Oh no! I’m fkd!”

Famous last words! 🤦🏽‍♂️

Things Trump left: • the draft • marital fidelity • airplane business • casino industry • The Plaza Hotel

Congress had bigger balls back then. If you were potus back then, then the public, senate and congress would have destroyed your brand. You are under the protection of FoxNews that’s why you can say what you say.

He's stupid... Mr. Bone spurs!

I❤️Nixon!🤪

Nixon was clearly smarter than you.

House Democrats struggle for solid footing following Mueller reportJohn Dean, who was White House counsel under President Nixon and testified for the prosecution during the Watergate scandal, will testify to the House Judiciary Committee about possible presidential obstruction of justice. Dean, the White House counsel under Nixon, took the witness chair in 1973 to denounce his former boss, declaring that Nixon and his aides had orchestrated a cover-up within days of a botched burglary of the DNC headquarters at the Watergate complex. Nice for the committee to start off with an impartial witness.

Watch live: Fmr. Nixon counsel testifies at House hearing on Mueller reportFormer White House Nixon Counsel John Dean is one of the witnesses at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on “Lessons from the Mueller report.” Like Ronna McDaniel said so well: 'The best person Jerry Nadler could find to smear realDonaldTrump today with a bogus “obstruction of justice” charge is someone who literally pled guilty + went to jail for obstructing justice.' Show the hearings on MSNBC! It is amazing how the pro Trump MSM ignore the hearings against Trump to focus on a helicopter crash ;nothing happened here. A pilot flew in bad weather and, sadly, lost his life; end of story. No terrorism, no other threat; just a chance to cover for Trump by ignoring Congress.
