One of Donald Trump’s “best people” is being heard once again.<\/p>\n

He is former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who went from hero to zero in less than two years. Trump hired him as the nation’s top diplomat, heaping praise on the former ExxonMobil CEO as a man of unsurpassed brilliance; he booted him out, saying he was dumb as a stump.<\/p>\n

But the former secretary of state is being heard again. He is telling interviewers about how the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner — a young man with zero diplomatic experience — pushed Tillerson aside to conduct foreign policy \u2026 in the Middle East, of all places!<\/p>\n

Tillerson met with the House Foreign Relations Committee recently and gave a scathing report on working within the Trump White House. According to the Daily Beast<\/a>: \u201cOne of the challenges I think that everyone had\u2026 to learn to deal with was the role, the unique situation with the president\u2019s son-in-law [Kushner] and daughter [Ivanka] being part of the White House advisory team,\u201d Tillerson said, according to the transcript The Daily Beast obtained. \u201cThere was not a real clear understanding of the role, responsibilities, authorities\u2026 which made it challenging for everyone, I think, in terms of how to deal with activities that might be undertaken by others that were not defined within the national-security process itself.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I want to stress with all the energy I can muster that Jared Kushner has no business conducting sensitive negotiations with Middle East heads of government and heads of state. He is as totally unqualified to negotiate with anyone in that region as the president is to hold the office to which he was elected. Yet the president has given this hanger-on the responsibility of hammering out a comprehensive peace agreement in the Middle East?<\/p>\n

Let’s face it, Rex Tillerson was right when he called Trump a “fu**ing moron,” an epithet he never has denied hurling in the president’s direction.<\/p>\n

And the president has placed an empty suit in charge of one of the most challenging diplomatic tasks anywhere on Earth.<\/p>\n

Amazing.<\/p>\n\n
