Trump repeats history// Thursdae Sierocki

Our current president is digging himself into a larger hole hurting his political career. Throughout the past few months of him in office many people have noticed parallels between him and Richard Nixon's career. Both were ex-movie stars who blindly ran for office with conservative values. Charges brought upon Trump on Monday bring more of a comparison of him and Nixon than ever before. He is being charged with tax fraud (along with a few other people) and making false statements about contact with Russia. Nixon however aided in a White House break-in and lied about it. Many people are currently hoping to impeach Trump; the gate meant for Nixon before he resigned from office. This article is very informative on the current situation Trump is in and what may happen to him in the future. Will his future end up like our former President Nixon or will he continue to dictate the American society? Many Americans hope that he will soon share the downfall of Nixon but we will have to see where that goes.

  1. It would be quite the sight if Trunp were impeached, though I feel it's more likely we just end up with another Warren G Harding: a president nobody likes, with questionable legal dealings and an unimportant term forgotten by history.

  2. What would happen if Trump was impeached? Would Hilary go in? Would we have another election and have Obama in office in the meantime?

  3. If Trump was impeached and thrown out of office, we would only be left to deal with Mike Pence, who, while some say has better values than Trump, he does not have an any better political attitude.
