It was a sad day for me 50 years ago to see this history. Like or hate him, this is what a true leader was. He put the country first not politcal party or himself. It was great to vist the Nixon library this week for the first time, you learn the real history of this man and his accomplishments by visiting his library. i will probably get a lot of hate for writing this.
I was a child when this happened. He went out with a lot of class. He was one of our most intelligent presidents. This speech encouraged me a lot when my mother died. I thought the light had gone from my life forever, but I went on.
President Nixon Farewell Address to Staffers 1408pm 9.8.24 i stand corrected, i was born by the time this presidential let down occurred. hardly the shape of things to come - as it seems American politics is riven with strife such as this. he seems to be losing it, here, as he wings it ie: seemingly makes an off-the-cuff speech to the white house staff he's leaving behind.... you could stand outside any door and talk very loudly in the vain hope of being heard and still not make any inroads into the situation or sentiments of a man such as this - as he wanders aimlessly down the road of poetic whimsy. was he the American renaissance-man, spoken of on occasion, cast out by the rudimentary and ritual savagery of the American political wasteland?

I am shocked that this is the first time I have heard this speech from Nixon. I have watched a kazillion documentaries on his presidency, and on his fall from grace. Even if, like all politicians, this was an exercise in rewriting of reality, it is still amazing. The grace, the humility, the exposing of a flawed human being that had aspired to greatness…and you compare that to the whining, self-serving hatred and anger of Trump…well, it’s just mind-blowing. How could so many Americans have lost any sense of decency and principles?

The humility. One of the best speeches I've heard from a politician
“Only if you’ve been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.”

Nixon was sentimental about our country❤.

If Nixon hadn't of done, what he did, but fly on the straight and narrow. He'd still be in the White House. Greed always brings a person down.

President Nixon should never have resigned.
Despite his flaws Nixon did a lot of good things for this nation.
Richard Nixon was a great man.
The Uni-party DemocRAT's RINOS) kicked Richard Nixon out.
Thank God Reagan came along.
God Bless America.
What would Nixon say about Trump today?
Who knows? But he knew him very well
Richard Nixon, after seeing an interview with Donald Trump, wrote a letter to him wherein he encouraged Trump to run for president.
So, considering that Donald Trump became President Trump, Nixon would say "I was right."
