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.
