  • Former National Security Adviser and U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger served under the administrations of Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford from 1969 to 1977, and he (controversially) shared the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize for his part in helping to negotiate a ceasefire and a withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam. In the years since then, Kissinger has continued to offer his viewpoints on global affairs through published opinion pieces and interviews, including an appearance on the CBS News program Face the Nation on Dec. 18, 2016. During that interview, Kissinger ventured some opinions about the recently concluded U.S. presidential election and President-elect Donald Trump: https://youtu.be/BAy5-OrWI3sA few of Kissinger's comments about Trump were subsequently replicated in more recent Facebook posts bearing titles such as Henry Kissinger’s take on Trump and 94 yr old Kissinger takes on Trump, which opened as follows: As the transcript shows, Kissinger did say Donald Trump is a phenomenon that foreign countries haven’t seen. He also described what foreign countries would have to consider under a Trump presidency: However, all the rest of the text of those Facebook posts was a mixture of various political opinions and quotations scraped from other sources and falsely attributed to Kissinger. The former secretary of state didn't call Trump the one true leader or say he puts America and its people first, nor did he maintain that Trump was talking about 13 issues that most Americans are concerned about. This was a variation of a similar claim we rated False in 2018. (en)
