He also came off as kind of an evil figure.

Nixon had a lot of policy failures.

Nixon on this before.

Pat Buchanan was in the Nixon administration.

He was a speechwriter for him.

And he was like, well, look, what were we going to do at that point?

And so he was basically saying, because what happened was essentially, so you had like the Bretton Woods Agreement, which started after World War II, or actually, I'm sorry, it started at the very end of World War II.

It was in 1944, where they had the Bretton Woods Agreement, where they could kind of see where World War II was going.
