Let's face it, Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy, is in way over his head. He's being running around the world like a seasoned, experienced diplomat, when in fact, Mr. Witkoff's only qualifications are selling condos and being Tiffany's Father-in-Law. Witkoff has been given more responsibility than SOS Marco Rubio.

On Edit Correction: Steve Witkoff is not Tiffany Trump's Father-in-Law

1. Tiffany's father in law? Good grief! The nepotism and cronyism are astounding.

The fact that he’s unqualified is not surprising. Nobody around the dumpster is remotely qualified.

2. Amazing how these people get appointed

6. The main qualification for anyone Trump appoints

Is to be completely unqualified for that very position.

7. the main qualification is to be a Trump humper

8. This story deserves an excerpt, not just a blind link:

Steve Witkoff, US special envoy to the Middle East, may have misinterpreted Vladimir Putin's terms for ending Russia's war in Ukraine as he worked to set up a face-to-face with President Trump, per a new report.

On Wednesday, Witkoff spoke with the Russian president at the Kremlin for about three hours, after which Trump praised his negotiator for making 'great progress'.

However, a report from BILD, a German outlet, suggested that Witkoff was under the impression that when Putin demanded a 'peaceful withdrawal' from Kherson and Zaporizhia, he meant that he wanted Russian soldiers to withdraw.

But according to insiders, Putin actually meant he wanted Ukrainian forces to give up these tactically-important cities.

'Witkoff doesn't know what he's talking about,' a Ukrainian official told BILD.

The link is to the Mail, but other more reputable outlets have covered the BILD story.

11. OK, you corrected your error.

Now, where the heck did you get that idea about Witkoff in the first place? How did that get into your post?
