Actor Edward Norton says he believes President Donald Trump is “worse” than former President Richard Nixon and Robert McNamara, the Vietnam-era U.S. Secretary of Defense. Norton makes the comparison in remarks published by multiple outlets, asserting that Trump is worse “by far.” He also characterizes Nixon and McNamara as having “some dimension of competency,” contrasting that with his view of Trump’s performance or approach. The reports present Norton’s comments as personal criticism rather than evidence or additional factual claims about specific policies. Other than the quoted comparisons, the articles do not provide detailed context about the circumstances prompting Norton’s statements. Overall, the coverage centers on Norton’s blunt assessment and the historical figures he invokes to frame his critique.
