And one of the places where people can learn about the peaks and valleys of our history are these presidential libraries.

And it's sad that we're gonna lose yet another opportunity to learn about the complexities of this era because the Trump library will be as disconnected from reality as possible.

You asked about corruption and Nixon.

Before Watergate, Nixon put pressure on a house committee to give up federal land near San Clemente, which was actually part of Camp Pendleton, and allow him to use it for a library.

So that's public federal land, not state land.

And Nixon's people were putting pressure

on getting that land.

Of course, Watergate with Watergate, not only did that pressure campaign end, but the then Nixon Foundation collapsed.

The one that exists now was created well after Watergate.

So the idea of putting pressure on a locality or on the federal government to get land that wasn't really yours for a presidential library, that didn't start with Trump.

Nixon attempted to do it, but Watergate ended those particular desires.

No, of course not.

That would have, by the way, obstructed the view from San Clemente.

Of course, he didn't want to have that.

Now, come on.

Remember, Richard Nixon was a realist.

No, no, no, of course not.

Remember, let's keep in mind that Donald Trump is our first developer president, and therefore he thinks of everything in terms of development and, of course, technology.

self-enrichment.

So I'm not surprised.
