HomeWorldPoliticsAnd when he fell down the steps of Air Force One and Saturday Night Live made fun of it, he didn’t whine like little piss ass baby like Trump.
The guy pardoned Richard Nixon, and you’re holding him up as an example of a better president?
FFS OP, do you not realize that Nixon getting away with it just encouraged later presidents to think they can likewise do just about anything and also get away with it? Should’ve put the bastard on trial, and if the Supreme Court dared to declare him immune, threaten their asses with even worse.
Ford’s would-be assassins appear in the 1990 musical Assassins. But that dealt with actual presidents, not with a former president who was twice impeached and had to pay hush money to a porn star.
Gerald Ford was a real man.
Or hide thier baldness.
The decent among us still expect more.
Had Ford not pardoned Nixon, who knows, maybe we wouldn’t have Trump getting away with everything.
One of those Ford assassination attempts was prevented by a gay man in San Francisco. He was outed to the press by Harvey Milk and it caused him a lot of problems.
