By telling the press that it's a visit through his private time. Not as part of his job.

When Biden went to China(and Korea and Japan) last month, it was part of his job, not private.

When Cheney went recreational hunting, it's his private time, not part of his job.

Ho died in 1969. USSR won the 1st round of space race in 1961. It's really one of those hindsight he did not have at the time.

Being a "pacifist", I have more of a problem with him deciding to go to war when he knew the casualties's going to be massive with US on the side of the South.
