Rex Tillerson and the unraveling of the State Department: With an isolated leader, a demoralized diplomatic corps and a president dismantling international relations one tweet at a time, American foreign policy is adrift in the world. Trump doesn’t hate Tillerson — he hates diplomacy itself. Trump and Tillerson are gutting the State Department for no good reason.
