Henry Kissinger On President Trump

Agree or not, this is an interesting observation by a seasoned observer who understands international relations well. This appears to be an interesting collection of comments by Henry Kissinger on Donald Trump's political maneuverings as president. Using Google I've found bits of what follows, including a CBS interview, some of which is quoted here. I can't vouch for the whole collection, but it doesn't appear to be implausible based upon the pieces I've located.

Kissinger on Trump

Recently, Henry Kissinger did an interview and said some very amazing things regarding President Trump. He starts with: "Donald Trump is phenomenon that foreign countries haven't seen."

The former Secretary of State Henry Kissenger gives us a new understanding of President Trump's foreign policy and predicts its success:

Liberals and those who favor (Hillary) Clinton will never admit it. They will never admit that he is the one true leader. The man doing changes like never before and does it all for the sake of the nation's people. After eight years of tyranny, we finally see the difference.

Kissinger knows it and he continues with:

Every country now has to consider two things: One, their perception that the previous president, or the outgoing president, basically withdrew America from international politics, so that they had to make their own assessments of their necessities. And secondly, that there is a new president who's asking a lot of unfamiliar questions. And because of the combination of the partial vacuum and the new questions, one could imagine that something remarkable and new emerges out of it.

Then, Kissinger puts it bluntly: 

Trump puts America and its people first. This is why people love him and this is why he will remain in charge for so long. There is not a single thing wrong with him and people need to open their eyes.

When he boasts that he has a "bigger red button" than Kim Jung Un does, he so transcends the mealy-mouthed rhetoric of the past that he forces a new recognition of American power. Kissinger once wrote, "The weak grow strong by effrontery. The strong grow weak through inhibition." No statement better captures the U.S.-North Korea relationship.

Trump is discarding the inhibitions and calling the bluff on North Korea's effrontery.

His point is that the contrast of American retreat under Obama and its new assertion of power under Trump creates a new dynamic that every one of our allies and of our enemies must consider. Our allies grew complacent with Obama's passivity and now are fearful due to Trump's activism. And they must balance the two in developing their policies. They realize that the old assumptions, catalyzed by Bush 43's preoccupation with Iraq and Obama's refusal to lead are obsolete. So, Trump is forcing a new calculus with a new power behind American interests.

Those - here and abroad - who rode the old apple cart worry about its being toppled. But, as Kissinger so boldly states, Trump "is one true leader" in world affairs and he is forcing policy changes that put America first.
