Kissinger on Trump

Recently , Henry Kissinger did an interview and said very

amazing things regarding President Trump,  He starts with:

“Donald Trump is a phenomenon that foreign countries haven’t

seen.”
 
The former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger gives us a new

understanding of President Donald Trump’s foreign policy

and predicts its success:

“Liberals and all those who favor (Hillary) Clinton will never

admit it. They will never admit that he is the one true leader.
The man is doing changes like never before and does all of it
for the sake of this nation’s people.
After eight years of tyranny, we finally see a 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 sentence better captures the U.S.-North Korea relationship.
Trump is discarding the inhibitions and call 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 complaisant 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 the one true leader”
 in world affairs and he is forcing policy changes that put America
first.
