LOL. My wife would agree with you, who thinks I am a little too right wing. But yes, my ideas are “different” and I am probably pretty pig headed as well, I will admit.
I was negative 7 in 1964.
I fundamentally agree with you that Trump wants trade with China, but that the situation now is extremely unfair.
Okay...full disclosure and a much needed suggestion for you... I actually voted in the fall of '64. I had been closely following Mr. Nixon since I was a little kid, and worked on both of his winning presidential campaigns. Having actually lived through those times, paid avid attention to the news ( radio, T.V., and newspapers and afterwards reading many different books about it as well ) I don't have a distorted view/opinion of any of this history; unlike you.
You need to talk to people you know, who were adults back then and also listen to people like me, who know and understand it. I don't know where you got your info from, upon which you've based your opinions ( unless you just made it all up in your fervid imagination ), but it's SO confused and wrong, that you need to keep quite until you l,earn some actual FACTS!
Growing up, I was fascinated by what things were like before I was born, so asked my grandparents and other family members about it and wanted to know even the smallest details. I was lucky enough to have a family who were more than happy to share this info with me, even though I was pretty little, when I began to ask such queries. And yes, I have also read and read and READ everything I could find about eras that have interested me...from books, to the newspapers, to magazines of those times.
The above isn't quite like actually living through past times, but it's as good as it's going to get, in understanding it all!
At least you agree with me and Trump, re China; that's a good beginning!
And what you have to understand is that Nixon and his team did NOT set anything up in a way that would have facilitated China in doing what it has done in the past 4+ decades, with NO president EVER trying to reign them in, until now!
It's one thing to be "pig headed" when you know what you're talking about; OTOH, when you don't and still dig your heels in, when 1) you're WRONG 2) discussing a topic with a person who DOES know the topic far better than you do, you need to give up with the dumb "opinion"/s, which aren't based on anything worth a damn.
