De. 9, 2016 About forty years ago, we saw Republican Richard Nixon win the United States Presidential Election of 1968 against the Democratic nominee by the name of Hubert Humphrey.
The 1968 election occurred at a time of wrenching cultural and political change including black power, women’s liberation, gay rights, and student protests. Past Mayor Rudy Giliani of New York, compares Trump of that to Nixon and to Reagan. “As Trump made clear the other night in Pensacola, he’s perfectly of walking out of a deal if it’s not in the best interests of the United States. Wouldn’t be the first time he walked out of a deal, and generally when — you know, I’ve known Donald for 28 years — when he walks out of a deal,
they come back on his terms, just like they did with Reagan and Reykjavík” (Guliani, 2016). America, today, is worried about four more years of Obama. Trump has brought to the table his knowledge and expertise in financial situations. The United States has an international debt of near twenty trillion dollars and is increasing every day. Senator Tim Kaine of the Democratic Party of Virginia, said it is Donald Trump who is most like Nixon. “A president was impeached and had to resign over an attack on the DNC during the presidential election in 1972. This is serious business” (2016). Kaine has also referred to hackers who broke into the Democratic National Committee’s database this year. Trump “has openly encouraged Russia to engage in cyber hacking to try to find more emails or materials, and we know that this cyberattack on the DNC was likely done by Russia,” (2016). A lot like Reagan and Gorbachev, Trump and Putin remain close friends. They tend to be very fond of each other’s ways to run a country. Trump has a plan to build a wall on the US border of Mexico. A plan that seems to be popular, but many see the downside of this. Along with this wall situation, in 1987, Reagan called for Gorbachev to break down the wall dividing East and West Berlin. The similarities are uncountable. The Four Power Agreement on Berlin also known as the Berlin Agreement or the Quadripartite Agreement on Berlin was agreed on 3 September 1971 by the four wartime allied powers, represented by their Ambassadors. Wikipedia states, “The four foreign ministers, Alec Douglas-Home of the United Kingdom, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics' Andrei Gromyko, France's Maurice Schumann, and the States’ William P. Rogers signed the agreement and put it into force at a ceremony in Berlin on 3 June 1972. The agreement was not a treaty and required no formal ratification” (2016).
As trump will begin his term of President of the United States of America, he will consult to his colleagues and board on whether or not the wall will be the best idea for the US. If Trump decides to put up this wall, either Putin will intervene and persuade him not to, or there will be an uprising in the United States of the citizens of the country. I am a Trump supporter and I say put the wall up, and hopefully this will diminish the illegal aliens that are living here in this country that are taking our jobs and liberty away.
