Weren't both Nixon and Bush 2 drunks? Did the people notice? No. Trump is a convicted rapist. Do people care? No. We can't see spousal abuse and it's her word against his, anyway. Do people ever believe the woman? No. (Well women do.) Welcome, Secretary Hegseth.
G W Bush was supposedly “dry” for years. Nixon, however, was known to tie one on, especially on the night before he resigned.
Yes, Bush, "supposedly" was dry and the dry throat was probably the reason he choked on the pretzel. People did not know the amount of Nixon's drinking till after his reign and staffers talked about it.
Still, both things are true.
