In recent years, Nixon is apparently starting to get reassessed in a unique degree - in that Trump's activities and chaotic term have made Nixon look good and reasonable in comparison, even in the wrong he did. Should that be brought up in the page, or is the topic still too sensitive?

What's the point of such a lengthy description of Nixon's political career? That's not why people come here. If people want to read about that on the Internet, they go to Wikipedia.

I think that without using citations, writing about such a controversial topic at length is a bad idea. In my opinion, the page should only give a brief, non-controversial summary of Nixon's political career and list his appearances in fiction.

Whew. That is far too long. Yes, pare it down please.

Me? Just like that? Isn't there an official process or something?

Nobody is responding, so I assume nobody has a problem with this.
