Is Donald Trump Recording People Like a Common Nixon? (goes to Wonkette)

Donald Trump sure does like borrowing ideas from Richard Nixon, like being the “Law & Order” president, talking to the “Silent Majority,” hanging out with Henry Kissinger, and even adopting Nixon’s “Madman strategy” approach to foreign policy — with the caveat, of course, that it’s no strategy and Trump is simply fucking nuts. So should we be even the least bit surprised Trump hinted in a Tweet that maybe — just for speculation’s sake — there might be a recording out there of his dinner conversation with James Comey? Don’t be silly! The answer to every question about Trump that starts with “Should we be surprised…?” is always “No, and it’ll turn out to be worse.” So now it’s time to ask whether Trump, like ol’ Dick, has a recording system in the White House. The answer is: He’d be a goddamned fool to repeat Nixon’s mistakes, so the odds are pretty good he has a recording system in the White House.
