Since his resignation almost fifty years ago, President Richard M. Nixon’s name has been weaved through the fabric of history thanks to popular culture: books, biographies, films, from comedy to historical fiction, with documentaries, TV shows, cartoons and even comic books. More famous, and the scandal that popular culture mostly re-adapts, the Watergate Scandal, which ensured a distrust in the political system of the United States, a divide still present in the relationship of the public and its elected officials. Young generations of scholars have encountered Nixon’s name through popular culture over and over, and are much more likely to learn about his turbulent political career from parodies and satires sooner than from history books. The paper does not to dispute the wrongdoings of this formidable character but showcases how Nixon’s name is embedded in public discussion thanks to the iconography of his character, his voice, the strong jawline, the unique nose, and speeches delivered by the former President, his action in and outside of the office, as well as his unique relationship with the media—a relationship which is evolving with each new President in the White House.
