No surprise that Trump finds another incompetent fool to take a critically important position

"In the hours before the vote, Senate Foreign Relations Committee ranking member Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) released a report on Craft stating that her “qualifications fall short: she does not have the knowledge, skills, qualifications, or experience to successfully lead the United States’ efforts at the United Nations.”

Complaints in the report mirror many of the issues over which Craft and Democrats clashed at her confirmation hearing. Among them are that she “displayed a lack of depth on basic foreign policy issues,” such as the two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinian territories, and that “she merely repeated talking points” on developing crises such as Iran.

The Democrats’ report also repeated concerns about Craft’s travel while ambassador to Canada, pointing out that she spent about seven months of her two-year stint in Kentucky or Oklahoma, where she and her husband have homes. They also complained that she did not seem to have a full understanding of her husband’s investments, and said her promise to recuse herself from negotiations and meetings related to coal — while agreeing only to look into doing the same for fossil fuels — was unsatisfactory.

Spokesmen for the State Department and National Security Council did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday afternoon.

Generally speaking, Craft is expected to uphold most of the policy positions Trump has espoused, even when it puts her into conflict with senators, Republican or Democrat.

During her confirmation hearing, she defended Trump’s decision to reduce payments to the U.N. and pull out of bodies like the U.N. Human Rights Council, stating that the international organization’s “ambitions at times have gotten ahead of accountability” and that “w aste and overlap remain problems. ”"
