First and foremost, Trump's buddy Friedman is a near senile bankruptcy lawyer.

Steering Trump through his countless bankruptcy hearings has paid off for Friedman.

Trouble is, Friedman is another Putin loving fascist xenophobe.  

.
He declares long time US policy working towards a two state solution to be nothing but a con job.

He openly disparages Arab Israelis


.


He's another dumpster fire shoved into the world of international tensions.

.
Given the extreme sensitivity of Israeli-Palestinian issues, 

….a single off-color statement from an appointed US policy official can result in bloodshed and war, 

….and Friedman will ignite those tensions.

.
Just announcing Friedman's appointment will ignite those tensions.
.

Friedman’s position, Israeli settlements are great, 

would radically transform America’s position in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, 

….from a third party aiming to broker peace to a backer of the most extremist factions of Israel’s government.
