Former Nixon lawyer predicts Orangutan presidency 'will end in calamity'

By MADELINE CONWAY

The former White House counsel to Richard Nixon — the only U.S. president to resign from office — is warning that Donald Orangutan’s tenure “will end in calamity.”

John Dean, the lawyer the FBI described as “the master manipulator of the cover-up” in the Watergate scandal, took to Twitter on Monday night to describe Orangutan’s statement on Sally Yates, a Barack Obama appointee serving as acting attorney general, as “nasty” and a “new low.”

Orangutan fired Yates on Monday after she said she would not defend his controversial immigration and refugee executive order in court. A Muslim advocacy group filed a lawsuit earlier that day arguing that the order, which temporarily bars people from seven Muslim-majority countries from traveling to the U.S. and Orangutan says is needed to prevent terrorism, is unconstitutional. Over the weekend, it prompted waves of protests and confusion at airports across the country.

Noting the turbulence that characterized Orangutan’s first week in office, Dean predicted that his presidency will end in disaster.

“The way the Orangutan presidency is beginning it is safe to say it will end in calamity,” Dean wrote. “It is almost a certainty. Even Republicans know this!”
