Wednesday during a commencement speech at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, former Secretary of State John Kerry criticized the presidency of the Donald Trump as “not normal” several times, and added, “In the end, there is nothing American about it either.” Partial transcript as follows: Distinct from the hurly burly of any presidential visit, my travel to Asia, Europe, and the Middle East these past few months has informed me that the global community is watching and unsettled about the leading nation in the free world.They see us gridlocked and politically trapped in a low-intensity internal conflict of our own. They see us unilaterally disarming in the battle of values. They see us walking away from a century of thoughtful, carefully conceived economic and strategic leadership. They see volatility and unpredictability that causes confusion. They see a budget proposal that eviscerates diplomacy and reduces America’s engagement, which has traditionally defined our leadership in the world. And in this last year, our discourse, if you can dare to call it that, rose to a new level of the outrageous, coarse, and ugly. The public dialogue has become no dialogue at all. It is a shouting match that alienates citizens who disparately yearn for more from their leaders. We seem trapped in a political pinball machine where we careen from flipper to flipper, bouncing off walls of insults and contradictions, outright lies and broken promises, where up is down, and words don’t mean anything anymore. Democracy relies on free speech.

Still crazy after all these years . . .
Swift Boat, Baybee!
Sadly, it is not normal to have a president with the quality, compassion, intelligence and deep devotion to America that instills every second of President Trump’s life. His administration is a love affair with our nation.
Socialist projecting socialism as the norm for america, not surprising he says this.
I always thought he was the south end of a north bound horse.
I wish this low-life creep would just shut up and disappear from the face of the earth. What a waste of molecules. How I despise him.
I heard he served in Vietnam.
John F*cking Kerry, you are a sorry douschebag, be grateful you weren’t strung up from the closest lamp post.
Has it completely backwards...again
Not sure, but we could ask him! Ms
There was never anything normal about John Kerry as SoS. Confirming him approached the same level of stupidity that elected Gov Moonbeam and Mrs. Brown
The new “normal” in this country is no a good thing. Thanks for Trump.
Said the man who met with North Vietnamese military Communists while this country was at war AGAINST them.
He’s a traitor akin to Axis Sally or Lord Haw Haw. He was a part of the American resistance and he lied to Congress about witnessing and participating in war crimes.
A democrap wouldn’t know normal if it jumped up and bit him on the a$$.
Sez one of the biggest freaks to ever run for president.
He didn’t just meet with the North Vietnamese, he served as their agent, repeating their talking points and demands in his public appearances back in the USA.
In other words, America’s “Top Diplomat” began his career doing diplomacy for the enemy.
You are correct. He is a traitor.
We The People rejoice in the fact that the current POTUS is not “normal”. Normal sucks.
Kerry’s biggest success was as a two time gigolo.
