Eisenhower's farewell address famously warned about the rise of an unaccountable president.
deep state, what he called the military industrial complex, what we now know as the deep state.
Nixon internalized that lesson because he saw Eisenhower, a military man who helped to win World War II and free the West from Nazi oppression.
He saw what Eisenhower was going through and the rise of the security state that was unaccountable to anyone.
