4. Trump makes Nixon look like Jimmy Carter.
Looking at all the shit Trump gets away with daily, it's hard to believe that Nixon had to go because he lied about a little break-in.

8. Watergate was so named because
that was the name of the building in which the Democratic National Committee was housed, and thus where the break-in took place: the Watergate Office Building. The Watergate Complex has 6 buildings, including coop apartments, a hotel, and the office building.
The “gate” was detached and came to b added to other political scandals. It has no meaning; it’s just a tag that has come to indicate “scandal.” |
