They just fired a Tillerson aid for putting out a false report about Tillerson leaving.

What is more relevant is what Pompeo is going to do as SOS.

Schumer Is Holding Up 1,242 Appointments While Blaming Trump!

Schumer and the Democrats are holding up these appointments, and according to Republicans, at this slow rate of confirmations, it would take 11 years to fill these vacant posts.

No, no and no. No matter how many times you post this, 90% of the vacancies have nothing to do with Dems.

YOUR link shows it, it tells you what is needed for an appointment (legend in the beginning).

Your link does NOT support your claims.

This country hasn't seen such a mass exodus from the White House since the Red Coats burned it in 1814 during the War of 1812!

The Trump trainwreck continues. Tillerson says he was unaware he was being fired. Trump says he was.

Gosh who to believe?

The most lying and corrupt President in US history or a former CEO known as a straight shooter?

This is a tough one.

What makes you think Goldstein's report was false?

So it isn't the media narrative of chaos, it's the opposite. Trump is putting in pepole HE likes and who understand how he works. It's a positive, according to El Rushbo.

My thought is that Tillerson wasn't getting results in North Korea and Trump just called his BFF in China to get the job done.

Sure you can blame Trump, but Tillerson was SoS, it's HIS job to recruit and hire. Tillerson had his chance and obviously he didn't impress. Besides it's normal duties, State needs a serious housecleaning. All you have to is look at their behavior covering for Hillary. Tillerson wasn't taking care of that either.
Now with North Korea talks on the table, Trump needed someone he could trust and rely on.
Remember when the left hated Comey until Trump fired his conniving azz...that's all that's going on here.
^ That would mean more if you had said it before Tillerson was fired

Pompeo has been CIA Director for more than a year. At least you're starting to catch up.

Rush said Tillerson was against moving the embassy to Jerusalem and disagreed on Iran, North Korea and the Paris Accord. Trump and Pompeo think alike.

Turn on the radio now to listen to Rush and listen to Hannity who follows after or watch Hannity tonight. They've known Trump for decades. Ignore opposition mainstream media. They have proven they are clueless.

So why did Trump hire him in the first place? Are you saying his was ignorant of Tillerson's positions? Didn't ask?
