President-elect Donald Trump plans to add a very personal touch to the Oval Office decor: a personal letter to him from former President Richard Nixon.

In December of 1987, Trump received a letter from former President Richard Nixon informing him that his wife, former first lady Pat Nixon, predicted Trump had a bright political future, should he choose to pursue a career in the field.

"Dear Donald," the letter reads. "I did not see the program, but Mrs. Nixon told me that you were great on the Donahue Show. As you can imagine, she is an expert on politics and she predicts that whenever you decide to run for office you will be a winner!"

Nixon resigned in 1974 to avoid impeachment following the Watergate scandal. While parallels between Trump and Nixon have been drawn since Trump's campaign began, Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein, who broke the Watergate story, said Sunday that "Richard Nixon was nothing, in terms of lying, compared to what we have seen from Donald Trump."

Trump maintains connections to the people close to Nixon: Nixon's grandson, Christopher Nixon Cox, was on the shortlist for ambassador to China, and Roger Stone, who was an adviser to Nixon, is also an adviser to Trump.

It's not unusual for presidents to add or remove items from the Oval Office, along with updating the overall look of the room. President Barack Obama made a slight change to the Oval Office himself when he replaced a bust of Winston Churchill with one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
