Well who's the kind of moron who goes to work for a self centered, unethical, pathologically lying fucking moron, and thinks it would turn out well?

I really hope that Rex sticks it out for the sake of all people. If not then Trump can use Kellyanne to do his bidding since she's a master at it already.

From what I've heard Tillerson got kind of boxed into becoming the Sec of State.The fact of the matter is when the President-any President-asks you to do a job there is an extremely strong push to do so out of loyalty to your country. In this particular even so he didn't want to do it but his wife said he had to.

I think Tillerson was blindsided, to at least some degree, by the little weight Trump puts on diplomacy and negotiation. After all, that's what real businessmen do every day, all day.

I hope he sticks it out. He's one of the very few things standing stopping Trump from slinging nuclear weapons or at least starting another major war or two or causing an economic meltdown. Tillerson may have taken the job with the view towards capitalizing on his Russian investments but that is far less likely now.

The real question is will Trump force him out if he doesn't expressly deny making the moron statement. No President would tolerate that sort of public insubordination, especially not a vain snowflake child.

Trump reminds me of a spoiled kid at his birthday party. Constantly demanding more and better presents. Whining about everything. Blaming everyone. Throwing people out when they upset him. Getting upset over everything and nothing.

The only problem here is the birthday party is 4 years long. The child in question is 70 years old and unlikely to learn or grow as a human being. And he's got billions of dollars of his own money in addition to holding the most powerful office in the world.
This is MUCH worse than Paris Hilton or Affluenza Boy. So yeah, he'll fire Rex during his next tantrum, but thats the least of our concerns.

I think Tillerson was a craptastic choice for SoS but I do give him credit for at least working to fulfill the role he is in even if I don't agree with all his decisions. He does at least seem to get that American foreign policy has to be more than a middle finger to the world.

2nd time RT has insulted Dump in public and survives.

Few months ago Rex said Trump doesn't represent American values he speaks for himself. Said after Charlottesville.

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if we woke up one day soon to see that Rex has been ousted. Trump seems do dump his staff on short notice.

this is a guy that's responsible for getting the shitty people that voted for him to vote for Trump.

fuck him.

He and his people had everything anyone ever needed to have to know everything that the entire world had long known about Trump, yet they did the very shitty thing that you expect demonstrably shitty people to do: vote for the current Chief Cvnt in the white house.

Sorry Corker, there is no mea culpa for anyone in your position, when your sworn duty is to "do no harm" to this very country that you are supposed to serve. Fuck you.

LOL. The standard for Donald Trump for whether it is "Fake News" or not is whether he verifies it? Has he listened to the lies that come out of his mouth?

It’s weird that Trump hasn’t seemed to realize the fact that him making a statement makes something LESS likely to be true, not more, haha.

Going to enjoy him trying to delete these tweets when Tillerson resigns, which by every account is merely a matter of time.

The damn Boy Scout show was the final straw for him. He was an Eagle Scout and I think he was in charge of the organization at one time.

Yeah, Trump being Trump means this will probably eat away at him until he freaks out and asks for Tillerson's resignation.

I wonder how long it will take for them to hang pork chops around his neck so the dogs will like him? Instead of MAGA we've got making comedy great again.:p I personally believe that this current administration should be referred to as a carnival.:D

The Trump Carnival has too many vacancies right now yet spews garbage to the world. Lil Kim knows we're not able to launch a military strike with things like they are and so does the pentagon. If Rex bails on him chances are other key officials will leave with him further crippling the governments ability to conduct business.

Looks like CIA director Mike Pompeo is on deck to replace Tillerson.

I got this excerpt from that article:
Trump advisers and allies are floating the idea of replacing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson with CIA Director Mike Pompeo, age 53 — someone who's already around the table in the Situation Room, and could make the switch without chaos.

The without chaos statement made me ROFL when the WH consists of it.
