There's something most people should remember.

Kissinger was one of the few members of the elite who publicly supported Trump, both during the primaries, during the election cycle and after Trump was elected. Here's just one example:

During the election his refusal to endorse HRC after being approached by Bill Clinton and both George Bushes about it spoke volumes, as did his refusal to endorse any of the establishment Republican candidates during the primaries.

Kissinger is a diplomat, and he's played his cards right. Trump likes him, presumably appreciates Kissinger, and I think you'll be seeing more of him at the White House. He's in like Flyn.

That wasn't apparent at the Al Smith Dinner during the campaign where Kissenger was all up in HRC and both being scalded by Trump. If Kissinger is supporting Trump its only because he is a assKisser and that happened after the election.

True. Perhaps Kinssinger knew HRC didn't have a shot in the world at POTUS, so he choose to align with the winning side.

Exactly!

He was just earlier than most at getting aboard the Trump train.

HK is one of the shrewdest political players around, and his comments got him in with Trump.
