Former deputy national security adviser for the Obama White House, Ben Rhodes, was troubled by an aspect of President Trump’s speech to the United Nations on Tuesday, specifically as it pertains to North Korea and his administration’s reaction to it:

Depressing to see Trump aides pretend like his juvenile taunts are somehow strategic or productive. https://t.co/hrxZ6dW5W2

Cue James Woods:
Ben, you sent bundles of cash to a rogue terror state. On pallets at night. Like Pablo Escobar. Shut up. https://t.co/lJ8p2F1Iuz

Ouch! Obama’s former advisers are definitely not the ones who should be getting sanctimonious about the topic of effective foreign policy “strategy.”
You left out Ben leaving American citizens on trumped up charges languishing in Iranian jails while he was giving the IRGC billions

As is often the case, Rhodes really should sit this one out.
