Richard Milhous Nixon promised in his campaign before becoming president that he had a plan to end the war in Vietnam. He promised that if elected, he would end the war peacefully.

Furthermore, one of the natural behaviors of human being, that is, being cynical, will always highlight his past mistakes, which will make President Nixon's position difficult to persuade other people. People will no longer believe him easily because he is inconsistent when he speaks and takes a
