A day after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told reporters the United States currently has direct lines of communication with North Korea attempting to negotiate regarding the country's missile programs, Donald Trump tweeted that the effort was a waste of time.
“I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man. Save your energy Rex, we’ll do what has to be done."
Has anyone told Trump these kinds of negotiations are exactly what a secretary of state does?
I've never seen a president undercut his own secretary of state in such a public manner.

Being nice to Rocket Man hasn't worked in 25 years, why would it work now? Clinton failed, Bush failed, and Obama failed. I won't fail.
