Nixonmaxxing: the strange revival of America’s disgraced president

Richard Nixon, the 37th U.S. President who resigned in 1974 amid the Watergate scandal, has seen a resurgence in popularity among some conservatives and Trump supporters. The trend, dubbed 'Nixonmaxxing', is driven by comparisons between Nixon's policies and those of former President Trump.

Nixon's daughter, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, has spoken out against the trend, stating that her father was a complex figure with both strengths and weaknesses, and that his legacy should not be simplified or appropriated for political gain.
