VIDEO: In Oval Office With Nixon’s Secretary of State Trump Says Comey ‘Was Not Doing a Good Job’

Optics?

President Donald Trump minutes ago sat with Henry Kissinger, the late President Richard Nixon’s Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, and told reporters he fired FBI Director Jim Comey because he “was not doing a good job.”

The optics are unmistakably bad not only for Trump – his firing of Comey has been called “Nixonian” – but bad for the Office of the President. Kissinger has for many Americans become the face of war crimes, and Nixon the textbook definition of presidential corruption.

Trump told reporters Kissinger “has been a friend of mine for a long time.”
