Richard Nixon appears in the ill-fated Army film 'So Betty Won't Bounce: A GI's Guide to Masturbation After Becoming a Casualty of War.' #trickydickpics

Though he spoke glowingly of Haile Selassie at the state dinner, Nixon's duplicitous nature was later revealed and recorded by the White House taping system. A portion of the recording was worked into a song by Propagandhi, and provided the title 'Haile Selassie, Up Your Ass.' #trickydickpics

Though some artistic license was taken, Richard Nixon's resignation speech was the inspiration for the closing scene of Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Said Nixon, "I now know why you cry. But it is something that I can never do. Goodbye." #trickydickpics

At a Boston Red Sox game in 1973, with Bill "Spaceman" Lee on the mound, Richard Nixon caught a foul ball. Barely able to mask his disgust, he threw the ball back onto the field, muttering that he "didn't want a souvenir that had been handled by a fucking communist." #trickydickpics

But I'm a Committee for the Re-Election of the President I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here #trickydickpics
