Who would you say had the nicer personality, Nixon or Trump?

Probably Nixon, but a low bar.

Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

The possibility exists that Nixon was not a rapist, so him.

Trump, mostly because he'll say anything to please a crowd, which includes the petty niceties.

Nixon was honestly contemptuous of what he couldn't understand, and was pretty honest about his trust of almost no one.

I don't know if it qualifies as "nicer", but I much prefer Trump's personality.

Nixon on numerous occasions was so cavalier with human life and morality that Henry Kissinger was horrified, so ...

I only wish he could've been cavalier with the lies of communists.

Nixon: I still think we ought to take the North Vietnamese dikes out now. Will that drown people?
Kissinger: About two hundred thousand people.
Nixon: No, no, no, I'd rather use the nuclear bomb. Have you got that, Henry?
Kissinger: That, I think, would just be too much.
Nixon: The nuclear bomb, does that bother you?...I just want you to think big, Henry, for Christsakes.

Nixon p: The only place where you and I disagree ... is with regard to the bombing. You're so goddamned concerned about civilians and I don't give a damn. I don't care.
Kissinger: I'm concerned about the civilians because I don't want the world to be mobilized against you as a butcher.

Sure, but is it likely that Trump would have reacted differently in this situation?

I honestly think Trump is too much of petty schoolyard bully type to be that level of evil.

Did Trump rape someone? Shocked God...

His ex-wife claimed that he violently raped her until she was intimidated into taking it back, and I'm inclined to believe her.

Richard Nixon actually got into power and actually did awful things (not to trivialize rape) on a massive scale, as opposed to Donald "lose the general election by a huge margin" Trump, so the answer is pretty clearly Nixon.

I would be inclined to believe almost anyone's word against Donald Trump's,  so this is horrifying.
