GRAND ADMIRAL KERRY SPEAKS – AT 11:41 A.M. ET:  We've waited patiently for the reaction of former Secretary of State John Kerry to President Trump's UN speech.  It has come.  From US News:   

Former Secretary of State John Kerry says President Donald Trump's United Nations speech may have put America in isolation and danger.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show Wednesday, Kerry criticized Trump's harsh rhetoric against North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Kerry said, "You have to ask yourself: Is America safer because of 'rocket man?" He was referring to Trump's characterization of Kim.

Kerry said that kind of harsh language will make it harder for the United States to engage in diplomacy on North Korea and other international issues.

Kerry also charged that Trump emphasized his "America First" mantra mostly to please his supporters at home rather than the world community. "You give a speech at the United Nations to bring people to the table," he added.

COMMENT:  You know, I could understand Kerry's logic if he had a single success as secretary of state.  But he didn't.  The Iran nuclear deal, his crowning achievement, was, as President Trump correctly said, an embarrassment to the United States. 

As far as engaging in diplomacy with North Korea, hasn't that been tried for, like, 23 years or so?  Could Grand Admiral Kerry inform us of the outcome?

Kerry is the ultimate establishment guy.  Style counts.  Results don't.  Maybe the American people caught on to that fraud when they elected Trump last November.

Mr Kerry should join another former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, in some retirement enterprise.  A little flower shop would be nice.
