The comforts of cold war

As far as having a foreign policy, The President seems intent on re-creating the late 1950s and early 60s to include all the comforts of The Cold War, which are the comforts he grew up with. The President must have been taught, as I was taught, how to dive for cover under a school desk at the sound of the alarm that Russia was dropping the bomb. This atmosphere must seem so comfortable to the President, as junk food is said to be comfortable to him, that he has decided to expand the cold war to include China. 

It's comfortable to me to think of the President this way, it's a way of understanding what otherwise can't be understood.
