Answer:

Explanation:

On Nov. 17, 1973, President Richard M. Nixon held a news conference before Associated Press managing editors in Orlando, Fla., in which he defended himself against a number of allegations. Most of the questions related to the Watergate break-in, which had become even more of a scandal a month earlier with the “Saturday Night Massacre.” Other questions focused on reports that he had cheated on his tax returns.

The Nov. 18 New York Times outlined President Nixon’s many assertions, concluding that the president had acquitted himself well: “The president seemed composed and on top of the subject throughout the session, faltering perceptibly only during the discussion of his taxes. In contrast with some of his recent appearances he did not berate his critics or his political enemies.”

The best-remembered part of the news conference came as the president defended himself against claims that he had illicitly profited from his years in public service. “I made my mistakes, but in all of my years of public life, I have never profited, never profited from public service — I earned every cent,” he said. “And in all of my years of public life, I have never obstructed justice. And I think, too, that I could say that in my years of public life, that I welcome this kind of examination, because people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I am not a crook. I have earned everything I have got.”

                                  Assignment Nixon’s Argument

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.
