One difference between Nixon and Trump is the difference with their supporters. There was a line that even Nixon's supporters couldn't tolerate being crossed; politics was partisan but people still had limits. Trump's supporters don't seem to have any line, people are so extremely partisan that it's tribal. Trump could publicly do the things Nixon did and his supporters will celebrate it as "about time".
