Former Secretary of State John Kerry took Donald Trump to the woodshed on Wednesday, saying his incompetence and reckless policy decisions have wrecked America’s image abroad.
In an interview with MSNBC‘s Ari Melber, Kerry was responding to Trump, who accused the former Democratic nominee of having “illegal meetings with the very hostile Iranian regime” in what he calls an effort to “undercut” the current administration.
Kerry, who has amped up his attacks on Trump in recent days, scoffed at the president’s suggestion, calling it another attack meant to distract from the fact that Trump has repeatedly embarrassed America on the world stage.
“This administration doesn’t want to debate the real issues because they can’t,” Kerry said. “This is just an effort to avoid their own incompetence, their own inability to do things in Washington in a presidential manner, and I think the American people see through it.”

If there is one person who knows about international relationships, it’s John Kerry. As a Vietnam war hero who went on to become a productive Secretary of State under President Barack Obama, he has more knowledge of foreign policy in his pinky toe than Trump will ever have.
Kerry helped negotiate the landmark Iran deal, which put a lid on the hostile government’s nuclear program. Trump, of course, tore it up because it had Barack Obama‘s name on it.
The same thing happened with the Paris climate accord, which Trump pulled the United States out of – making America the only country in the world who isn’t now signed onto the pact.
All of that goes without mentioning the fact that Trump has repeatedly picked fights with close U.S. allies like Canada, Germany, the UK and others, all while heaping praise on sworn American enemies like Russia and North Korea.
As John Kerry pointed out on Wednesday, Trump‘s attacks on him have no merit. They are nothing but a distraction from this president’s embarrassing failures on the world stage.
