President Trump, Henry Kissinger Meet In Oval Office Amid Watergate Comparisons
In a surprise meeting, Trump sat down with the former secretary of State and official in the Nixon and Ford White Houses.

WASHINGTON, DC — President Trump invited the press into the Oval Office Wednesday for photos and brief questions with a guest that shocked many of the reporters in attendance: Henry Kissinger, the controversial former secretary of State and official in the Nixon and Ford White Houses. Trump called the meeting "an honor." Earlier in the morning, Trump met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak — a choice many found shocking in light of Tuesday night's firing of FBI Director James Comey, whose bureau is investigating ties between the president's campaign and Russia.

...The meeting with Kissinger, 93, was not on the president's public schedule, and reporters thought they would be entering the meeting with Lavrov when Trump invited them in the office.

Kissinger has forgotten more about diplomacy, foreign policy and realpolitik than Hillary, Madeline and Jean-Francois ever knew.

Mass murdering terrorist liar thief Abbas. Now old backstabber Kissinger. Two Nazi types in a row. Both completely unnecessary to begin with. Demeans President Trump. Demeans the office. And The “optics” are terrible, disgusting. Who’s advising DJT anyway???!!!

Hilarious move. An important by-product is that it is hard to portray Trump as the next Hitler when a very Jewish, unquestionably intelligent, Secretary of State is not ashamed to be seen with him.

That said, I hope Trump doesn’t actually seek/take advice from Kissinger, as he is Establishment/NWO cubed.

thanks for posting this. The only other article I’ve found that even mentions Kissinger is one from NPR. The rest of the MSM either didn’t get the news or don’t want to report the news.

Watergate broke 43 years ago. Focusing on it now is like talking about the Teapot Dome Scandal during the Nixon-Humphrey race. Except for the fact that every scandal, real or fake, instantly has a “-gate” appended as a suffix, the media will get little traction from the targeting. Besides that, Trump has them chasing their own tails.
