George Will Says Trump Has Done More Damage Than Nixon: Ringing a Bell ‘That Can’t Be Un-Rung’

Conservative writer George Will said on CNN Thursday that President Donald Trump’s misdeeds are worse than former President Richard Nixon’s, and that the commander-in-chief is normalizing abuse.
The Washington Post columnist and ardent Trump-critic appeared on New Day Thursday to promote his new book, The Conservative Sensibility.
“Nowhere in this book, not once, do you mention the name Donald Trump. Why?” said CNN’s John Berman.
“I don’t mention Charlemagne or Doris Day. This is a book about ideas,” Will snapped back.
Berman then asked Will what he meant when he argues Trump is causing more lasting damage to the country than Nixon.
“Richard Nixon’s burglaries and other abuses of power were surreptitious,” said Will. “They were secret, and when exposed they were tidied up and we moved on.
“What Mr. Trump is doing that is damaging to the country is public and constant,” Will continued. “It is a bell he’s ringing that can’t be un-rung. He is putting into our civic discourse a level of conversation, and of name-calling, and of abuse that will now seem perfectly normal in the future. Try to imagine any president prior to this one referring overseas to an opponent as he did to Mr. Biden as quoting a dictator — actually misquoting him — saying that Mr. Biden is a low IQ idiot… Our children, if they were 10 years old, we’d send them to their room without supper if they talked like that.”
Will told MSNBC on June 5th that the Republican party has become a “cult” for Trump. “It has become a cult because of an absence of ideas. Because they have jettisoned the ideas for years, decades, all the 20th century almost. Conservatives said we’re for free trade. Trump said, ‘By the way, you’re not anymore.’ And they said, ‘OK, we’re not for free trade anymore.’ Or they pretend to be.”

Will is just a typical neocon jackass bootlicker that played 'republican' in the fakenews two-party kabuki-theatre we had of a political system. The truth is that 'republicans' like him, the former crybaby speaker Boehner, globalist puppet Paul Ryan and everyone else the mainstream media labeled as 'conservative' sold true conservatives a bill of goods. They never delivered. They promised the fruits of endless wars and globalism in exchange for 'conservative' legislation. Instead we got more wars, more Mexicans, more muslims, more cheap Chinese Walmart bullshit, more 'diversity', more 'global warming', higher middle-class/upper middle-class healthcare costs for having to pay for free Obamacare...the list of 'conservative' victories goes on and on.
This is why it's Trump's party now, prog.

Not enough wars for oil and other resources of George Will. If we aren't bogged down in a war in the Middle East, George Will and his pal Bill Kristol aren't happy.

The truth is Democrats have said and done MUCH worse, but their owned media hides and downplays it for them.

Criminals always claim they’re the victims because other people supposedly do much worse things than them.
