There's a scene from the movie "Nixon" that is prescient right now...

Nixon wants to stop leaks and he meets with CIA Director Richard Helms, played by Sam Waterston.

It was chilling watching it in 1995 and always stuck with me.

Trump is in over his head on everything, but he picked a fight that he's going to lose bigly.

1. Anthony Hopkins was great as Nixon..

Very convincing portrayal, I thought.

2. You're right...It IS a chiling clip...

I'd forgotten it, will have to see the film again.

3. Helms was better and the power play than Nixon

good depiction of two bullies vying for supremacy. If Trump was treated like this would he be unaware of what Helms was doing or would he be pissed?

Was Helms that smart? I just remember hating him because he was part of the machine.

I hope/trust the CIA has good stuff on Trump.

4. A key line for me is when Helms states that Nixon is there only

for a time, and they are there through all Presidents.
