Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Maybe the biggest thing Trump did as president was apply tariffs on imported goods from China, measures President Joe Biden has kept in place.
56% : Neil found his destiny with China, a country integral to the Bush family since President Richard M. Nixon appointed ex-congressman George H.W. Bush as ambassador to the United Nations in 1971.
53% : They rewarded him by opening negotiations with Iran to transfer nuclear technology.
53% : These people are non-communists who are opposed to certain features of communism but believe it's permissible to associate with them to advance "causes."
52% : Collins told me how he and other party officials would establish a "front," an organization whose membership is made up of non-communists (with a few exceptions) and their goal would be to pursue an objective which, on the surface, has no obvious relationship to communism itself.
45% : "I never felt that we could abolish tariffs and do away with all protective devices, because we would have been flooded with imports which would have hurt our economy, hurt our defense posture, and I felt that these things had to be done gradually, selectively."
45% : But over the course of George H.W. Bush's presidential term, he sent us to war in the Persian Gulf, raised taxes, and pushed for "free trade," including with China.
41% : Donald Trump lambasted military interventionism and "free trade" with China in his campaign for president.
