President Johnson used the Gulf of Tonkin incident to deepen American involvement in Vietnam. And as early as February 1965, U.S. planes began to bomb North Vietnam. American troop strength in Vietnam increased to more than 180,000 by the end of the year and to 500,000 by 1968. ChaCha!

The presidency of Lyndon Johnson was little effected, simply because the truth was never exposed on any conspiratorial involvement on his part that he may have been involved in.
