I won't overly stretch this comparison, but remember when Trump went to DPRK

Here's an easier one: when Nixon went to China.

The bar is at Nixon.

Nixon is unironically the best president since him... if that makes sense. No one has been better than him that came after. I feel like a lot of Americans would resist this, but once you examine reality and accept it...... like goddamn man. Nixon. If we had Nixon things would be better. What. The. Fuck.

It's pretty insane but it's true. Nixon is like Michael Douglas in Falling Down when he meets the neonazi guy and gets offended by his Nazi German memorabilia and angrily declares "I am an American!" But drunk and also fascist and racist, cuz that's how Tricky Dick rolled.
