It feels like I woke up in a time warp and not the fun one from Rocky Horror Picture Show, but a year earlier and it is 1974. The Watergate scandal was quickly pushing President Nixon and his cronies out of the White House. Forty-five years later and President Trump has managed to bring shame and humiliation to the United States, but most of us expected it to be bad.

However, Mr. Nixon was a career politician, unlike Mr. Trump a businessman with a reputation that was a lot like Nixon's career. Winning means everything and to Trump staying on top and being the best might be his downfall and not his greatest asset.

Nixon and Trump believed the media is their enemy. Neither of them trusts their law enforcement or the Washington establishment. Imagine the damage Nixon might have made if he had a twitter account. As Nixon drank his feelings and frustrations during his downfall in the White House, Trump has taken to lashing out to anybody and everything in the media.

That is where the comparison is different as Nixon was not comfortable in the public eye. Trump has no filter when it comes to speaking to the public. They both held grudges against newspapers and journalists that did not agree with their policies.

It has been reported that Nixon was famous for getting his staff to leak to the press damaging information on previous administrations. Having fits of anger and insisting on termination of staff daily. The comparison is too familiar as we watch the current administration's staff change almost weekly; coming and going like a temp agency.

If only we could have the same time warp in our Congress. Back in the 1970s, there was a bi-partisan Congress that held the President accountable and rejected his attempts to put conservative white southern selections onto the Supreme Court. What is also very familiar is the two presidents need to have close relations with Russia and China.

However, unlike Nixon's bowing to the establishment and creating the Environmental Protection Agency, Trump has systematically dismantled some of the country's laws for what most agree will do further damage to our environment. Nixon also signed into laws, taxing the rich strengthening workplace safety, and helped finance National Public Radio. In a recent report from a Florida Today article, it was reported that Trump has plans in the second term to cut Social Security and Medicare. He rolled back worker protections. Also, he has revealed highly classified information to our country's adversaries on several occasions.

Trump's staff is scrambling now to find the right excuse or scenario for his current reason for impeachment. Like previous President's that had faced impeachment, the media was not on his side. Maybe he should make a call to President Clinton and ask him how it went when he went to the public and lied about his relationship with a White House aide.
