It's amazing he hit 100.  The pressure of being president seems to prematurely age people.

Great statesman and contributor to society for 40+ years. In that regard, perhaps the best ex-president ever?

[tower912]

A better former president than president.  A better man than president.

Yeah, it's almost as if he forces Secret Service and the rest of his huge entourage to pay rack rates to stay at the resorts he owns while he plays golf and rakes in huge profits on the taxpayers' dime.

And so no politics is bye bye.

He had three siblings...only one of whom made it to their 60s, and she died at 63.

His dad died before reaching 60 as well.

Hmmm... bro must play a lot of Pickleball

Until Joe, worst President of my lifetime. Iran hostage crisis is his mark, of course. Soviet grain embargo was I'll conceived, among other decisions. But, America wanted change after Nixon, Ford.  Carter did some good in bringing awareness to Habitat for Humanity's mission, so there's that. And, 100 yrs old is incredible.

Politics in a thread about a former president?

Would be a great SNL X-Presidents skit.

Were you in a 4 year coma prior to these past 4 years?

154 historians who have devoted much of their lives to studying presidents ranked Biden 14th-best and Trump dead last.

Meanwhile, U.S. News & World Report rated Trump as the 3rd-worst president ever (ahead of only Andrew Johnson and James Buchanan).

Yeah, anyone who thinks Joe Biden is the worst president of their lifetime, and that lifetime included the likes of Nixon, Carter and Trump, is way too obsessed with current politics.

[rocket surgeon]

and there you have it...bwahahahahahaha

[Uncle Rico]

and there you have it...bwahahahahahaha

4.5 out of 10

[Jockey]

Finally. Rob Schneider weighs in.

[NCMUFan]

Please no politics.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.  Don't want to get into politics, but Nixon was a great president, and what he got impeached for was nothing compared to what the current politicians on both sides of the aisle do.  He won his second term by a landslide for a reason.  Weird and paranoid dude, no doubt.

The bolded isn't accurate. He participated in the covering up of a felony whose primary purpose was to steal information from an opposing candidate's party. What politicians do that now?

Nixon did passed some very good policy - some stuff that today would be labeled "woke" or even "commie."

But 1. He let tens of thousands of young American men die unnecessarily in a war he let drag on for far too long, and 2. He was a raging racist and antisemite.

For those reasons alone, Nixon was nowhere near "great." And there were other reasons, too.

He deserved to get impeached because of the cover-up, but I agree that the actual Watergate incident does seem quaint now compared to the various treasonous, unethical, immoral, illegal and cruel acts of the man historians selected as the WOAT.
