Henry Kissinger

During the Richard Nixon/Gerald Ford Presidencies my father had a derogatory term for Henry Kissinger. He called him an “educated bum”. This is the term I have applied to 45 all the way from the start of the 2016 Presidential campaign. It does not matter what either of them does or says, they just keep on proving that they are inadequate for the office that they hold.
I have come across an article on the net where Kissinger is praising 45 for all of the good things he has done and will do for this country. I would have noted them down but I got intensely nauseated reading it. The article is tons of bullshit. It gives off a stink I can not deal with. All ot does is try to form a rallying cry to get 45 re-elected. More nausea. The internet is a wonderful thing, but with this article it is a cesspool.

Kissinger was so awful during Nixon's presidency that I was completely astonished to learn he's Jewish and that his family fled Nazi Germany. His accent is so thick I thought for a while he was one of the rehabilitated Nazis who'd been brought here after WWII. He wielded his power like a Nazi.
