I think Tillerson is probably smart but I don't respect him. He's a friend of putin and would love to see those sanctions lifted- even if he divested I'm sure his friends and family will benefit.

After all the assurance on both sides it would look pretty silly if he left now. Rumor is that Kelly is out tomorrow.
Reports are that the State Department is demoralized and in chaos. Budget cuts, people leaving and not being replaced, leadership lacking, ...Tillerson is rarely seen and doesn't return phone calls or answer emails.

Sort of a mess.

Really..we have major media reporting on name calling ? That's childish and immature.
And that garnished headlines today ?

I'm glad Tillerson didn't stoop to that low and took the high road and called it "petty stuff".
Just like when the president calls people names? The fish stinks from the head down.

There are reports that Tillerson, Mattis, Mnuchin forged a resignation 'suicide pact' in the event Trump wants one of them gone.

I'm telling you, soon it'll just be the mad emperor Trump, Jared, and Ivanka kicking around in a deserted White House with Melania around to cook and tidy up.

Tillerson, Mattis, Mnuchin forge 'suicide pact' in the event Trump wants one of them gone: Report

All the departments are in a mess. Trump and this White House CAN NOT GOVERN.

The press was using the old LBJ tactic of accusing someone of something they did not do, knowing they did not do it, for the sole purpose of making them deny it. Tillerson wasn't playing The Game.

And this evening at a dinner event Trump said something to the effect that this social event was the calm before the storm along with a malicious grin. Something up or not?
