Where Are Nixon's Children?

Nixon is the past...and are his mistakes over? Profit on Nixon's down-fall...that is a celebrity prison. And the Truth was already told...drag him....and drag him through the mud over and over is the mistake that we as Americans did and still do. His family may be more private. And hurt over his past...

He was a father, and a Son to a Mother and a Father. We think the polictics of Washington can be shamful. He was not the only disgraced President....there was a lot of dirt. But, forgive him and move on and shameful that we question his family. Very bad. And honor a past President that SERVED a country in the worst of times too. We dont approve, but he was President for a long long time. A past is a haunting in itself and a lost soul if you keep hurting him. Just keep draging him..over and over again and again. Wow.

We respect him. and forgave him. Not to lead our nation...but forgave him. And his family. Maybe, they are just private. What does this say about the celebrity part of profiting on his mistakes. We are more ashamed of that...Drag him...over and over again and again is the message.

Oh Patricia and Julie, come out, come out wherever you are... why are you hiding?

Maybe they prefer it that way. What good would it do to respond to negative publicity when there's really nothing they can do to change the events that caused their father so much pain and bad publicity.

Why bring it up after all these years? Does it really matter ? Don't they deserve privacy now that he no longer holds an elected position in the government?

Loyalty is great, but wagging tongues are usually silenced when you don't respond to their taunting.
Why should they say anything, when the media already told their version?

Mr.trump, i think nixon has great challeges in life but: "for what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?."

Nice post... It made me think about. Thank You!

You are good at what you do.



You certainly do command

Hi Donald.

Everyone is has the potential of being led in the wrong direction. Obviously, when that someone is high up in the ranks the press will crucify them on any exposed issues. Personally, I think he was doing what he believed was correct at the time and gradually got caught up in a web of Power Hunger and Greed. In any case, no individual is perfect, that’s what makes us human. Isn’t it amazing how Real Estate always comes into the greater evil?

Oh well, he has paid the price and I’m sure the children received their fair share in the mix of the ordeal. May he rest in peace? As for the Family, Shame on them.

P.s. Would you discuss OMP with Brett?

Anyone that you are close to and you know is a good person is worth fighting for, in my oppinion. It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks about him/her.

About fighting. It's important that there are people who stand up and fight for what is good & right. What would this world otherwise end up beeing?

I mean, for example, just this evening when I was riding the bus home from the gym there were a bunch of teenagers in the back shouting about disgraceful words, something about who ****ed who's and who's girlfriend.

Then I heard how one of them started arguing with one of the passengers behind me because apparently he had been staring back at them, which ofcourse is a way to try to fight back. There was a short argument and the teenagers won that fight. How do I know? Because the disgraceful shouting had not stopped.

By now I had figured out a long time ago that if you were going to fight this back more than staring would be required. You either go over to them and set them straight or you leave it.

So I made the decision to go back there and asked who was shouting and so on and told him that noone in the bus was interested in hearing who was ****ing who's and who's girlfriend. Then the guy next to him steps up, because there was about 5 of them, and pulls out a knuckleduster and I decide to do a respectable retreat because in this particular matter it was under no circumstances worth going physical.

But after that, there was no more shouting. And I felt proud about that. Because not only did the shouting stop, everyone in the bus saw that there is still people in this world who will fight the evil & make change, for the better I believe & hope.

And as they walked out I told the girl who was with them to find better company.

Another unpleasant thing, although more unpleasant than the previously described incident, that happend this week. I was walking on a train station and I got a piece of candy in my air channel and was having a really hard time to breathe. Anyone around me must easily have heard that I was chocking on something, because I made a really loud chocking noise and was pointing with my hand on my chest. And still the pair of people that I turned to just looked away like I was a salesman trying to sell some kind of crap. And I don't look like a drunk either.

That was a quiet horrifying experince actually, I mean what has it come to if people are so self-minded that they are not even capable of providing critical help when it is needed. And something so simple like a chocking incident.

Now I got it up myself after a moment but still the time it lasted the 2 people that I turned to just looked away and noone in the vicinity intervened when it was so apparent what was happening. And there was quite alot of people around. This is in Sweden so I'm not sure how it is in the other european countries but I doubt it would have been handelled the same. I was quite surprised I may say and really disappointed how it was handelled.

To me this really was a sign that more people in at least this country needs to grow some guts to take action. And get their heads straight. And their soul straight as well to say the least.

And I say more people, not all people. Because ofcourse I still believe there definantely is good people out there that would ACT in this kind of situation. I sure hope so anyway.

Did it ever occur to anyone, that although Nixon's children may have loved him unconditionally as their father, they may not have been thrilled with his choices in the political ring. I don't know many who didn't have some differences of opinion on parental units, in one way or another. Sticking up for them is good if you believed in what they were doing. Sticking up for them if they were doing unscrupulous things may be better left unsaid. Maybe they should write a biography about their dad and highlight the good things they knew about him. It probably wouldn't get picked up for a movie, but maybe it should be.

Dear Mr. Trump,

I can remember when I was invited to sit in on a speech on real estate success given by Don Jr. in New York, a few years back... I still remember what he said about you; he said, "do you think I get to work for my father just because I'm his son? I had to go to the Wharton School of Finance... you could tell he takes business seriously." And I took away from this.

When I was studying business in college, I remember one management class where we studied about how to get workers to perform as they should, and we studied "Art of War." I was taught that to achieve "victory without battle," was more important than battle... when you behave professionally, people who work under respond. Often, people in management make friends with people that work under them, and you've mentioned the dangers of doing so as well. There's a saying, "people never ask for a pound of honesty, or an ounce of integrity, but they'll pay for it."

Respectfully Yours,

Dear Mr. Trump,

I have my opinions about Nixon the man and Nixon the president as do most red blooded Americans. I am also a veteran. That said, I know since you have military experience you understand the difference between saluting the rank and saluting the man, just as the military shout of "hooah!" can mean a variety of things depending on who you are shouting it to.
The father of a friend of mine who by the way is one of the more honorable and big hearted men I know, got into trouble in the banking business and lost everything including his reputation. His son advised him prior to all the events leading up to his demise to stop what he was doing. Should it be his sons job to now go around defending his fathers name when his father made the choices? His son has a family of his own and kids to raise in an honorable fashion. Perhaps the best defense is to leave a better legacy so that the mistakes of his father simply pale in the wake of the good that comes from his off spring. The people who know this man and are close to him still trust and love him no matter what and the rest...well it seems everyone needs to point the finger these days to take the attention from their own transgressions. The worst fighter is the one that hits back only because he was swung at.
With all due respect It is my opinion that the media and Hollywood are swiftly becoming their own worst enemies, so why bother.

Dear Mr. Trump, your have one of the most interesting and inspiring blogs. I truly appreciate your dedication to spend time writing these posts. I live and travel a lot in Europe and Russia, but always seek for your sharp mind and witty American humor.

This is a thought provocing piece. Nothing in this life can be taken for granted, especially family. If you want to draw on their support, you have to invest yourself in the relationships. It is not your families or your friends responsiblity to defend you. It is your responsiblity to live a life that requires no defense. Character is your best shield. Since we are all human, we are still works in progress, and we each make mistakes. Some people are just lucky not to get caught. Some do. When that happens, the bigger the man, the harder he falls. If he acknowledges the error and is sincere, hopefully he will be forgiven.

I think Nixon's biggest mistake was lying about what he had done. Had he just been honest, people might have been a little more forgiving. Nixon's choices brought shame on his family, and I would guess that those choices were a reflection of other day to day decisions, reflecting his character. Those little day by day things probably impacted his familial relationships.

Loyalty is not a right. It is a gift that is earned. I have known many remarkable people who have my complete pledge to be faithful and loyal. They have earned my respect. They say the true test is the answer to this question. "Would you take a bullet for him?" I would for my family.

But what if they actually are defending him using clandestine and subversive methods as opposed to direct public counter-defense?

Do you also watch movies?

Does a man like you also go to the cinema??!

I think you must own your own cinema with 110" screen, full Dolby surround sound, the whole lot, in your apartment!

Cool blog Mr Trump! Keep making money!

First of all, thank you Mr. Trump for your always interesting and always surprising honest blogs.
I never get tired of listening to you speak or (now) reading what you have to say.

I know this is a little off the subject, but can I just say I get SO tired of all of this crap coming out of Hollywood. It's so predictable. OK we get it. You have a message to send, a point to make. After these elections especially, you've made it clear who you like and who is evil. You are the smart, and enlightened ones and you're going to tell us your version of the truth and then dress up and give yourselves awards for being so brilliant. (yawn)

To Mr. Trump

I didn't want to answer this question until i saw the movie myself. After seeing the movie, i decided to do some research on his history. My opinion is that when President Nixon resigned, United States lost someone that was made and born for Presidency

My thought is that President Nixon probably admitted to something he shouldn't have been made guilty of. President Nixon's goal was for peace and he was a peacemaker.

My question is this....

Why did President Nixon admit evrything?

At the end of the movie, David Frost whispers to Nixon,"it is what the people want to hear"

President Nixon admits it but doesn't believe he's guilty.
What was the reason for admittance?
Was it for sake of peace?


As to the question on Nixon's family loyalty, from the research i found that he had 2 daughters. My guess is that his 2 daughters probably supported him through his ordeals as they knew how. My guess is they were as their mother was to him. Does that make sense????

It was worth the watch... :op

Hah, now this is a crazy coincidence. I was just Googling the same thing and Trumps blog pops up. I didnt even know there would be such a thing as busy as he is, so why not post.

Since he only has 2 daughters, then it makes sence we havnt heard from them. Women by and large are chickens and want to hide behind their men. They dont want a bright spotlight and they shy away from controvercy, most especially if they wallowed in it for a long period of time. I grew up in a dysfunctional household and its still pretty rough after 20 years. These days, even more so than before, mom zones out when words get out of hand. My dad always had a few screws loose in the head and now add age to the mix. My sisters really dont want to go near him to leave controversy and friction out of their lives. I dont blame them and they deserve as happy and peasefull a life as they can create for themselves.

Nixon really botched up his life. He will undoubtedly always be remembered as the most vilianous president that ever was, overshadowing anything else he might have done. I dont even know what else he did. All the result of the "gotcha" brutality of our society. Catie Courric is so proud of her gotcha questions to Sarah Palin about what magazines she reads. It doesnt matter what real accomplishments she did as governer, but the media hyped, broadcast and vilified her over the most trivial things because there is no "news worth" to simply doing your job.

Our society is by an large about building something up by tearing something else down. People claw and feed on each other as a means to climb higher. In that atmosphere, you have to have a ruthless streak to even keep up. And the meaner it is, the meaner you have to be if success is your goal. That is why business men like to associate themselves with charity and filanthropy. It makes them feel like good people and gains a connection to people that will stand with them when the chips are down.

Nixon never had any real friends, so when snit hit the fan, there was nobody worthwhile that could stand up and help him mitigate the PR damage. Presidents today are almost certainly as ruthless and underhanded as Nixon was. They just had better quality people around them to keep things from getting out of hand. And as far as Nixons daughters, there is no joy in the history of their dad. So I am sure they simply shut off the TV so they can get back to their "happily ever after". In this ruthless society, who can blame them.

Dear Mr. Trump,

Political fighting is not for everyone. You try to defend some one and you end up hurting thet person even more. So, may be this is the angle through which Nixon's children are looking at the scene.

Nice to meet you! Mr Donald!

It is great honor for me to send you a thank you comment here.

I am 28 years old Japanese guy working in Niseko. I am a property management stuff in Nisade(http://www.nisade.com/)

Everyday I am reading your book "How to get rich" little by little , again and again.

Your book is bible for me to learn both English and business.

I like your many words ..ex " I dont do it for the money , just do it to do it " ," Keep the big picture in mind while attending daily details" etc..

My father was the hotel owner almost 30 years in Niseko. I wanted to help him.
That was reason I started working here .
Every time i read your blog and book, I am excited and moved.
Language is different. but often I feel like his advise are your advise.

I still have not made my first billion but just wanted to say , " Thank you so much, Donald, I respect you like my father far from Japan."

One of my dreams is to meet with you!

Niseko is so nice and one of best beatiful place in the world.


I hope you come visit Niseko! All season is great !!

Best Regards,

Kotaro

While I feel what Nixon did and was part of was unscrupulous, I feel that silence is golden for the children who are now adults and I'm sure wanting to have a private life.

I can understand why they don't make their voices known as it's like beating a dead horse...it's over, it's history and we've put it in the past. Let's move forward, find positives instead of dwelling and digging up past negatives.

I was thinking the same thing just now: Where are his kids, and why aren't they entering into public service?

For all the whiners out there who can dish out criticism like tweens in a catfight but can't take it when it comes their way, Nixon was a far brighter light and statesman than anything the "other" side has offered in decades. Of course, said adolescents were in ecstasy when the Umpteenth Kennedy (Caroline) made noise for the Senate post in New York ... until reality prevailed.

Nixon and Kissinger made a hell of a team. As Messrs Skynyrd said: "Watergate does not bother me." The only laughable thing about it was that they needn't have bothered; their foes were hapless dolts.
