Anderson Cooper: Trump's Fox interview 'like listening to the rantings of Richard Nixon'

CNN host Anderson Cooper remarked Thursday night that President Trump's interview on "Fox & Friends" earlier in the day sounded like “the rantings of Richard Nixon.”

Cooper's comments on his show came after law professor Alan Dershowitz weighed in on Trump’s interview by focusing on Trump’s suggestion that he could interfere with the Justice Department’s investigations.

“I think it would go down a very bad road for us to start parsing the president’s words to determine whether or not the president of the United States is exercising his authority under Article II or violating the law,” Dershowitz said.

“How do you ever interpret statements made by Donald Trump?” he said. “He made a vague, general statement intended to convey different points to different people.”

A lot, more so the last few months. I think there might have been some rants.
