  1.  @robertschoonover6517  Early life and education Rita Panahi was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, United States, the child of Iranian parents.[1] Her mother was a midwife, and her father was an agricultural engineer. The family returned to Iran during her infancy, living on the coast and moving to Tehran by 1979. Her mother worked for a hospital associated with the Shah at the time of the Iranian Revolution.[1] Panahi described her parents as "relaxed Muslims who were not particularly political". However, her family was targeted by the Shia Islamist government of the Ayatollah Khomeini. In 1984, they were accepted by Australia as refugees and subsequently lived in Melbourne.[1]

  4.  @BillyWickert  You can compare and contrast but not rate one against the other. Reagan developed his political philosophy over many decades. He was very clear about what he thought of Communism from the start of the Cold War until he entered in to retirement after serving two terms as President of the United States. Trump had a slightly different road and learned from direct experience just how unhinged our "Post Cold War" government had become. If Reagan had lived long enough to meet politically active Trump he would have said "I tried to tell you." Because Trump didn't evolve politically during Reagan's terms as Governor in California. Whether or not he supported Reagan (and he probably did) he seemed to think that Communism ended with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He entertained the idea of doing business with China (and therefore the CCP) during the Clinton and Bush years. So that's really a different kind of evolution. Reagan fully understood Communism when fighting with Screen Actors Guild as its President starting in 1947 when a lot of idiots still thought Stalin was our friend "against Fascism". And Reagan did not want to "cut deals" with Russia or China other than SALT or similar arms treaties. I'm not saying Trump is wrong to work for economic reset with China (and therefore the CCP) but Reagan recognized the danger immediately when he first encountered Marxists in the "labor" unions and Trump bonded with the workers and accepted the status quo because, actually, Trump is a lot more practical and inherently fatalistic, or he was during his "business executive" epoch. He went along with laughing at Communist China "competing" with us and I guess he wasn't fully aware of what was happening the entire time. I am Donald Trump's age and I never understood why Clinton opened up trade restrictions with China to celebrate the collapse of Russian Communism with actual elections and privatizing assets and properties seized by the Soviet Communists. China celebrated the collapse of the Soviet Union by mowing down student protestors with tanks. Who could have missed that? OTOH, Trump was perhaps more open minded in thinking that Libertarian "seduction theory" (trade with totalitarian regimes makes them moderate as they gain prosperity) might work out. For the first time in world history. The thing is that "seduction theory" is a modern theory that presumes the prosperity will moderate the electorate. With no real elections seduction theory applied to totalitarian regimes is, well, it's insane.
