7. President Nixon Doesn't Believe Machines Are The Answer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C754Jb97I8 Days Of Future Past had its fair share of cut scenes too. In this nicely acted clip, Nixon is escorted to safety from the wreckage of the safe room. As Trask pulls metal from the remains of a ruined Sentinel robot, Nixon is briefed on how the industrialist has betrayed his country by selling state secrets to foreign powers. But for fans, it's Nixon's lines that are more fascinating. Foreshadowing Stryker's future plans for utilizing mutants, Nixon comments that machines aren't the answer. In fact, the President states, "better get some of these mutants on our side." Sounds like Tricky Dicky's going to be a big supporter of Stryker.
