Was Rump asleep when Powell or Kissinger were Secretaries of State?

You've probably heard the Rump telling us how Hillary was the worst Secretary of State in history--I've heard it in two separate interviews. That doesn't make it so. Just a few short years ago we enjoyed the Colin Powell fiasco. Colin Powell's speech at the UN was a marvel of BS. The world will never forget.

Then there's Kissinger who's terrible actions are uncountable. He, along with Nixon, gave us their man-crush on the Shah of Iran and the Arab Oil Boycott which tanked the nation's economy. We're still paying for our support of the Shah which was greatly expanded during the Nixon administration.

They say that Dulles during Eisenhower's administration was really bad but that was before my time. Nevertheless, Rump should check his fellow Republicans for the worst SOSs in history.

Strangely, none of the panting stenographers who are so excited over their "get" seem to have any facts, history, or judgment at their disposal, and they mindlessly parrot whatever falls out of T Rump's mouth. T Rump is such a parochial phenomenon that the dewy-eyed villagers don't even realize the contempt much of the nation has for the short-fingered vulgarian.
