Nixon’s argument are you convinced? write two paragraphs evaluating nixon's argument, claims, and evidence. was he convincing? support your opinion with evidence from the text.

      President Nixon was trying to convince them that he didn't profit from public service, but he earned every single penny in the argument. He said that he was glad that the people were wondering about this because he wanted them to know if their president was a crook or not. President Nixon didn't convince me. He wasn't entirely focused on his speech. While he was giving his speech, his voice showed that he was nervous or anxious.

      He also had a tone of anxiety in his voice. Based on his language and nonverbal cues, the audience perceives Nixon as untrustworthy after his speech. Nixon's nonverbal cues indicate annoyed, defensiveness, and anxiety, while his words express innocence. The words used in the text, such as mistakes and "welcome this kind of examination," show that Nixon is saying he is offense. When Nixon said “so that when I, in 1968, decided to become a candidate for President, I decided to clean the decks and to put everything in real estate. I sold all my stock for $300,000—that is all I owned. I sold my apartment in New York for $300,000—I am using rough figures here. And I had $100,000 coming to me from the law firm.”

Nixon claims that when he became president, he

Sold all of his stock ($300,000 worth),

Sold his New York City apartment (for $300,000), and

Collected $100,000 in salary from his law firm.

If Nixon really was telling the truth he would had showed evidence like- a bill, transaction records, and a paycheck.
