US Ambassador to Qatar Dana Shell Smith appeared to criticize President Trump in a tweet on Wednesday, expressing frustration at the news coming out of the United States.

“Increasingly difficult to wake up overseas to news from home, knowing I will spend today explaining our democracy and institutions,” Smith said in her tweet.

Smith was confirmed by the Senate to her post in 2014 under former President Barack Obama. Prior to serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Qatar, she served was Principle Deputy Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs for three years.

Smith’s tweet came after President Trump fired FBI director James Comey in a stunning move. Comey was fired as the FBI continues to investigate potential ties and collusion between Trump’s 2016 campaign team and Russian officials.

2. How does that tweet criticize Trump?

It notes a sorry state of affairs and a new challenge in doing her job.

Only in Trump World would the remarks of a less than happy camper
be considered an attack on Trump.

5. Maybe she wanted to come back, anyway! You can be sure he intends to punish her.

He's too weak to be responsible for the consequences of his insane actions.

6. She must be ready to return.

I don't think I'd want to in her diplomatic position with an administration that has been so hostile towards the previous administration.
