Donald Trump compared to Richard Nixon in opinion pieces

The opinion articles reflect on the 1974 resignation of President Richard Nixon after Republican senators withdrew support amid the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War. They note that Nixon established the Environmental Protection Agency and contrast his legacy with that of current President Donald Trump, alleging that Trump has appointed Lee Zeldin to undermine the EPA and has expressed skepticism about climate change.

The pieces also claim that Trump’s administration has taken a confrontational stance toward universities, journalists, and legal professionals, and that Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth supported a war with Iran. Both articles use historical comparison to criticize Trump’s policies and leadership style.
