2. Thanks for posting this fantastic interview

I had, like I would assume most people did, heard only the joke - likely written for Kerry - defining Trump was happy to fine that this was otherwise a great interview where he spoke brilliantly on both the accomplishments of the Obama years and the need for truth and the rule of law.

Seeing all of that made me understand the ridiculous attacks by Trump and Pompeo against him. The reason is that he is so articulate and so obviously a good person with an honest accounting that defines the Obama foreign policy as respected - for good reasons - while Trump has only a few countries - mostly with dictators running them - happy with them.

I get the type of show this was, but I think Kerry is at his best speaking about serious issues with the complexity that they are due. I've read about 3.4ths of his book and it only reinforced my great respect for him as a leader, a statesman and as a person. He is an AMerican treasure.
