LOS ANGELES - Californer -- In Dirty Tricks: From Nixon to Trump noted political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson traces the history of political skullduggery from Nixon to Trump. He assesses the corrosive effect it has had on the media, the public and the political process.
He examines the unethical and even illegal tactics and ploys that campaigns and candidates have used to wreck, ruin, and destroy their opponent's campaigns. That's especially true of presidential campaigns. He asks why dirty campaigns have become the norm in American politics and what can change that.

Hutchinson notes that at press conference in Orlando, Florida in November 1973, then Watergate scandal beleaguered President Richard Nixon uttered that plaintive plea to the nation. Those five words, "I am not a crook," from him immediately were seared into the nation's conscious as shock that a U.S. president could and would commit crimes, illicit acts, and all manner of unethical doings to win and retain the White House.

Nixon's five-word plea of professed innocence did more. It shattered the belief of generations of Americans that even politics had lines of fairness that couldn't be crossed. The age of innocence for the American electorate didn't end with Watergate, it was smashed.
That was 1973, says Hutchinson, more than a half century later in the heat of the 2024 presidential campaign former president Donald Trump and the GOP continued to raise the ante on political campaign crookedness.
Whether it was Nixon in 1973 or Trump in 2024, one thing is clear, dirty tricks was a firmly embedded norm in American presidential politics. Hutchinson recaps and assesses that sordid reality in troubling detail in Dirty Tricks: From Nixon to Trump.
