(THE HILL) — Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said in an interview Sunday that President-elect Donald Trump could go down in history as a “very considerable president.”
“Donald Trump is a phenomenon that foreign countries haven’t seen,” Kissinger said on CBS’s “Face The Nation.”
“So it is a shocking experience to them that he came in to office. At the same time, extraordinary opportunity.”
Kissinger said 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,” he said.

Well, he didn’t really say much… Nothing we didn’t already know.
What a sham and a display of hate put together by a critical dying old jackass that funeral was. What a sham to present oneself as something special when you are tearing down a working POTUS. The insults and degrading of a sitting President in front of his daughter and son in law was performed by slackers and bottom feeders. None of you could compare in any way to President Trump.
Display of hate?
Well it figures as you most likely are one the swamp people.
Kissinger, 93 and still got it. Pity the mentally deficient in congress doesn’t.
I Love it That He Stands For Our Country and Not apologizing For It
Somebody has to stand up for us or we will be speaking Chinese.
I’m still learning Russian for Trump and his handlers … Now Chinese too ?
I see nothing that backs the claim Kissinger supports Trump. Kissinger in new world order 100% and deep state crony.
You wouldn’t because you dislike him but look at the big picture and not CNN
Wrong!
HS everyone looked at the date of Kissinger’s remarks?!
Why the question about support? Shouldn’t this be a statement or demand? As to the Phenomenon, yeah I’d say. One of the few that didn’t go to jail in the Nixon Whitehouse.
Boy that’s got the liberals up in arms. Can’t handle the truth.
Joe Miller. You need to know what your talking about be for you go spouting off to the world. Check you facts!!! Rockerfellers’s were Democrats.
Nope. You’d better checkbYOUR facts. The Rockefellers were all Republicans, with the Exception of Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, who was the lone Democrat.
Dr. Kissinger is a Rockefeller flunky and a one world gov’t worker, I just don’t trust him and I wonder just why he seems to be pro Trump.
Because TRUMP he is smart obviously
People seem to forget that before Ronald Reagan brought the Soviet Union to its knees with an arms race they couldn’t afford, and he stood at the Berlin Wall and uttered the words, “Mr. Gorbachov, tear down this wall,” Kissinger’s position was that the Soviet Union and Communism would triumph over the Western democracies. Putin’s goal is to put the Soviet Union back together. Putin is a KGB Colonel by training and experience. If Trump tries to go one on one with Putin, who I am sure has studied the KGB psychological profile they make on all significant world leaders, Putin will make diplomatic chopped liver out of him–all the time playing to his ego and narcissism with the silver tongue of a trained KGB Colonel–and Trump will not even realize what happened. He will think he had a wonderful meeting…and continue to believe Putin when he said that Russian didn’t interfere in our 2016 election—even his Whit House Intelligence Chief, Dan Coates says Russia did and in Europe as well. .
Marti, don’t sell DJT short on his skill set. I’ve been negotiating for almost 50 years and I’ve never met a person who can use unpredictability, charm and fearless determination like DJT. The visit to Putin is to set him up for a couple good pounds in the head. Remember, we have the strongest military in the world and with mad dog DJT is not afraid to use. They fear nothing.
Very well put, Mr. Paladino!!
Imho, President Trump is a lot smarter than people give him credit for. Putin might be the one who won’t realize what happened after they meet. It will be interesting to learn, that’s for sure. 🙂
Just enjoy these words that Henry Kissinger has spoken. His words are from his heart with a passion never attributed to Mr. Kissinger. His true knowledge of the world that few really know he has brought forth to speak what is presently the truth.
All the authors that have ever written about Henry Kissinger will not believe what he said
to any journal. WOW..this is so HUGE.
I agree with everything said, but still our country remains in jeopardy as long as the destruction of innocent life remains legal in our land. Our children are rarely mentioned and the reinstating of the family unit as mom, father and child has to be restored before there is any healing or future for a country whose foundation and roots were established in faith in our God and our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
AMEN
I received the first message about this in a email. The email read like Kissinger was about to bow to Trump. Kissinger is a globalist, so I almost couldn’t believe what I was reading. Kissinger is one who advocated disarming America. In fact he said we should have been disarmed 3 to 5 years ago. The globalist are all getting old, and they want their piece of the pie now. So I don’t read this here as a pro but a neutral out in the open (possible warning) that Trump may upset their apple cart. Although the video seems to be a positive, it would be unlike any globalist to call Trump an opportunity. But then if you listen to Kissinger enough, opportunity can be mean the stepping up of their plans. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion?
Words of a wise and respected man maligned by stupid comments by uneducated heathens who have no respect for their heritage or the hero’s of the past who helped provide them with the opportuity to make asses out of themselves
AMEN!
People who hate for the sake of hating disregard facts. You can’t argue with zealots. Everything Mr. Kissinger said is true. Fear mongering is blinding the weak – exactly the way professional politicians want it. Liberals are the world’s largest anti-American hate group. All you sheep need to read Saul Alinsky: There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state.
The first is the most important.
1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people
2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
6) Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
8) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
The man who I think was t he model for DR. STRANGELOVE! OBTW: HENRY WAS SENT ON A SECRET MISSION TO SEE IF CHINA WOULD BE OPEN TO TALKS WITH RICHARD NIXON BACK IN THE 1970’S. PREVIOUS POTUS’s HAD SAT ON THEIR ASSES WHILE RINGING THEIR HANDS, LIKE THE ONES HERE DID WITH KIM IN KOREA FOR 65 YEARS. SAW THE CHINA THING ON PBS. SEVERAL YEARS AGO. .
Henry’s obituary is something I scan the news for almost daily.
I don’t think much of him…..
He is hampered by the fact that one half of Americans which include the liberal press visserally hate him. If he had a little
Help, he could accomplish more.
Isn’t Kissinger a hard core builderburg globalist???
Do you mean is he a foreign policy expert who helped tear down the Berlin Wall and reduce the USSR to a much less powerful Russia? That sort of builder?
