The dislike of Eisenhower towards Nixon emerged primarily from the ¨checkers speech¨and the fact that Nixon had forced Eisenhower´s hand to retain him in the ticket when his place was in serious jeopardy, by appealing to the public support and appearing like a victim. With the speech Nixon saved his spot in the ticket, but there was a price... Eisenhower never fully trusted him again and that strained their relationship. Besides the two men could not have been more different. Eisenhower was charming whereas Nixon was not. Friendship came easily to Ike, Nixon was a loner with few friends. The President tended to look down on his VP as someone not of his class, as merely his hatchet man and as such he was not a breed to be highly respected by Eisenhower or his staff.
