Donald Trump met Henry Kissinger, the former secretary of state and long-time foreign policy guru on Wednesday.
Mr Kissinger is the latest in a string of policy experts sought out by Mr Trump as he looks to reassure the Republican establishment that he is not, as Hillary Clinton has described him, a "loose cannon".
Mr Trump's "America First" foreign policy aligns in part with Mr Kissinger's realist approach, with both men emphasising US self-interest in dealings with other countries.

It seems to me that Trump is doing exactly that.
The only thing that could be worse than this, in the eyes of those Trump fans who lean towards conspiracy theories, is if Trump makes a quick, “secret” trip (no press dares to cover it, except the intrepid reporters at selected websites, don’t ‘cha know), with Hillary, to Area 51.
Kissinger has experience but in his career what has he actually accomplished? Is he a GOPe?
Kissinger is not a foreign policy guru now he’s, he’s a representative of China.
A "loose cannon" is unpredictable...and in some cases more easily aimed.
I bet the British wished they had a few "loose cannons" when the Japanese invaded Singapore from the land route....all their guns were on the coast pointing out to sea.
At the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 Admiral Lord Nelson devised a tactical device that enabled him with only 27 ships (and smaller) to defeat the 33 larger ships of the Spanish Armada.
As well as his ships being more maneuverable...his cannons, being smaller were more easily aimed for best effect.
Kissinger? No thanks. Jeeeezzzzz.... one Vietnam was enough. I hope Kissinger doesn’t get within 100 miles of Trumps administration.
Why? To make Henry feel relevant? He is so 30+ years ago.
I once golfed naked with Kissinger (I’m serious).
Getting here late, not sure if this has been mentioned.
But Roger Stone on InfoWars the past day, said when Trump went to talk with whats-his-name, I forget — from the Reagan Admin, Trump asked all about how Reagan worked etc.
So who would have thought that Trump would be going to a Reagan Admin person and asking this kind of thing.
Pt being: Who knows what he would have been asking Kissinger.
Now that’s got to be an interesting story.
Super kraut still alive, incredible.
I have absolute and complete faith in Trump’s ability to read people and select wisely
Was at this a golf game played in Germany?
Most europeans are far more casual about public nudity than we are here.
Now for a silly question: “Did Kissinger bring his own putter?
Exactly. Oddly enough, 0bama has done this as well, with a distinct difference: 0bamas’ choices have all been raving Marxists (which is his modus anyway) eager to suck up to their master and his surrogate Mom, Valerie, with their ever-more-clever Marxist ideas designed to denigrate the US more and more. So it has been a gathering of sycophants which just developed into a perpetual echo chamber. This is how we find ourselves here, so far out on a limb of total absurdity with this bathroom stuff that any sort of sane person is just gobsmacked by it all.
“Kissinger? No thanks. Jeeeezzzzz.... one Vietnam was enough. I hope Kissinger doesn’t get within 100 miles of Trumps administration.”
Kissinger was involved in the resolution of the Vietnam hostilities. JFK and LBJ were involved in the actual build-up and prosecution of the VN conflict and should be held responsible for the American deaths and injuries.
Of course, you already knew that.
Celebrity golf tournament in Palm Springs in the 70’s. I was 3 and escaped the house stark naked with my plastic putter to steal the golf balls (we lived on the 9th hole). Kissinger chased me around and apparently I thought it was great fun.
Bohemian Grove?
LOL - it is a great story.
I have never had a perception, either way, about whose side Kissinger was on....
That sounds like a fun time. Very few people can make claim to such a memory. Lucky you.
