. . . . simply incompetent.
Like Ben Carson, only worse.
Like Rick Perry, only worse.
Like Betsy DeVoss, only worse.
He makes very few public statements, and avoids the media like the plague, because HE DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE about diplomacy, the intricacies of international relations or geopolitics.
He knows oil.
He is quite possibly a miserable person right now because he is likely smart enough to know he is a fraud and WAY over his head in his current role.

(14,167 posts)I don't feel sorry for him. If someone offers you a job for which you are not qualified, you politely decline the offer. That he didn't means he is quite arrogant to think he could do the job of SOS without the commensurate experience. I can totally see them thinking "How hard can it be?"
I guess seeing these oil deals through is worth the misery. Much like Trump as the SCROTUS, who I believe is equally miserable.

I will never feel any thing, other than contempt, for all of them.

No more need be said after that.
