Let’s look at what NAFTA promised at the time as well China to the WTO. Pretty reasonable positions to take in theory. He was Envoy to China and understood what was going on at the time. As for the New World Order narrative, yes. It was. There was no Cold War. No proxy wars between Super Powers. There were no Super Powers, just the US. So yeah, after 50 years, it was a New World Order.
I totally get why he didn’t like Trump. The Bush Family was like Judge Smails and Trump is Al Czverik. I don’t fault him for that. He doesn’t like loud, brash and crass individuals which in exactly what Trump is. Doesn’t make one right and on wrong. Just preference.
I listed just some of his accomplishments. His Thousand Points Of Lights initiative was inspiring, signing the ADA into law, despite its abuse, was ground breaking and picking and sticking by Justice Thomas are a few others. Don’t let a few things here and there at the end of life in a different time skew what truly was an incredible American Liffe.
