Well, the first comparison that can be said straight away is
that they both have riots and protests against them. Now this helped Nixon
greatly by getting elected for the most part and the article is saying that
this may do the same for Mr. Trump. A similarity that goes alongside this is
that they both supported the police. Nixon was the law and order when he was
running against Vice President Hubert Humphrey and Trump has stated, “Police
are the most mistreated people in the country.” Another similarity between the
two was that they are both republicans. One last similarity is that they both realized
that the protest would grow as their votes rose.
Now
some differences. Donald Trump has “Black Lives Matter” protesters against him
and Nixon had multiple people against him and not just a certain group. Another
difference is that Nixon blamed African-Americans for all the crime that was
rising while Trump hasn’t blamed anyone, yet.
