Nixon was long gone when that happened!
You can’t blame those bad decisions on Nixon.
Yes, I can. Nixon was the one who got the U.N. to stop recognizing Taiwan, and start recognizing PRC China. It was absolutely Nixon. Of course, it continued to increase out of office, , but he set it up. The U.S. didn't even have relations with them before Nixon. He sold out U.S. workers and shipped their jobs to China. He didn't everything in his power to try to ban handgun ownership by the public.
