Rex Tillerson contradicts Trump on Qatar issue

Just 3 days ago Donald Trump posted several tweets against Qatar, accusing them of supporting terrorism and applauding the Arab nations that cut ties with Qatar. Then today, Trump accused Qatar funding terrorism “at a very high level,” and cliamed the blockade against Qatar could be “the beginning of the end of terrorism” because there would be "no more funding."

Well, an hour before that statement Secretary of State Rex Tillerson contradicted Trump and asked the same Arab nations ease their blockade against Qatar.

According to AP:

Only an hour before, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had issued a very different message, calling on the Arab nations to immediately ease their blockade on Qatar.

“The blockage is hindering U.S. military action in the region, and the campaign against ISIS,” Tillerson said, using an acronym for the extremist group. Tillerson has been tapped by Trump to help mediate the crisis.

And that's because the largest US base in the Middle East is precisely in Qatar.

So Trump basically harmed the US forces in the region by attacking Qatar. Then he sent Rex Tillerson to try to fix the mess Trump did, and then, after Tillerson tried to clean up the mess, Trump makes another mess.

Genius.
