Trump Sidelines the Grownups
https://politicalwire.com/2017/02/18/trump-sidelines-grownups/"SNIP.........
President Trump “this week abruptly dropped the nation’s commitment to a two-state solution for Middle East peace — without reviewing the specifics of his new strategy with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson,” Politico reports.
“For a president who declared on Thursday he had assembled ‘one of the great Cabinets in American history,’ sidelining Tillerson was an unorthodox way to utilize one of his top-tier picks. But it follows a pattern from Trump’s first month in office, where the president is operating without seeking much input from his more experienced Cabinet secretaries — including Defense Secretary James Mattis and Tillerson, as well as Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and CIA Director Mike Pompeo — a group one GOP source called ‘the grownups.'”
