this from the secretary of state? >> it's extraordinary, and it sort of emphasizes this notion that our foreign allies and countries around the world do not have a partner in the united states, that they don't really know who to go to. already we have so many seats in the state department that are unfilled because of budget cuts. and rex tillerson has generally played an offhand role. you have our dip mats around the world who are utterly flagger gasted by what they're seeing. they have this situation where they have a secretary of state who has been very reclusive, very hands off on the day to day dealings and then you have a president chrontrudicting so much of the work they do, even praising the russians for kicking out some ouf our diplomats and a series of events since this administration.
