I feel sorry for him, really. He does not deserve this treatment. He carried out his duties with class and dignity, and was one of the adults on the Trump team. He endured a great deal of unwarranted insults from the president, and grandstanding from others on the team. He was pre-empted from his position on more than one occasion by the president. I realize that State was understaffed at the top, but I think that Trump wants it that way. Fair winds and following seas, to you, Mt. Tillerson!
Remember when Trump challenged Tillerson to an IQ test?
I don't like how Trump constantly hires and fires people apparently without warning or advance notice. Trump seems to intentionally hire people knowing they aren't in agreement with his viewpoint, he says because he likes contrasting viewpoints but maybe it's just to fire them later.. I don't like how Trump has it in for AG Session who I consider his best appointment.
Very interesting. I know the chattering left will claim this is another sign of a WH in chaos, whereas I see this as a president consolidating a strong, working team, more interested in the boss's vision rather than pushing their own agenda.
Sessions better watch his azz.
Lay off the Kool AIde, if you see this as a President consolidating a strong working team !
This is a WH in trouble and chaos, no way to spin that into something it isn't. Trump is floundering and trying to keep afloat, and failing at that badly.
Regardless of party preference, to find out via Twitter of your firing, is just a mockery of the Office and totally disrespectful. This is not the Apprentice show.
He did the same with Comey, he waited until he was on the west coast and had to learn about his firing on television in the middle of a presentation. I thought he would treat Tillerson differently because he appointed him.
He said exactly that when it comes to running the WH. I think Trump really just wants to keep us all entertained and get 'good ratings'
Yes I saw when he commented on liking conflict and pitting people against each other. His supporters are so dug in, brainwashed and have screws loose, if they think an effective way to run the country is straight out of The Apprentice.
Fake news about Trump firing Tillerson because he said Russia was behind UK spy poisonings. He knew on Friday, before he said anything about Russia. Remember when the news was Tillerson got sick in Africa? That's when he got fired so he wasn't blindsided like the fired aide said he was. Media Runs With Russia Narrative On Rex | The Daily Caller
AP BREAKING: Officials: White House fires top Tillerson aide who contradicted account of secretary of state's dismissal.
And, it has since been confirmed by the White House. Google is your friend.
If they are going to fire someone at least be honest about it, no one believes that Tillerson was informed last week. Trump indicated they had been discussing this for sometime but he waits for Tillerson to get back to the states at 4AM to make the announcement.
He did the same with Comey, he waited until he was on the west coast and had to learn about his firing on television in the middle of a presentation. I thought he would treat Tillerson differently because he appointed him.
It's because he's a coward. He can't look a person in the eye, calmly and coherently list the reasons for dismissal and actually dismiss someone. He's a chaotic coward.
