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.
Gee, you would have thought that Trump would have vetted Tillerson about these important issues before nominating him for SOS. Poor vetting on Trump's part. Can't imagine Trump ever running a business or company. If it had not been for Russia bailing out Trump financially, Trump would have been broke years ago.
Reports are that Trump spoke to Tillerson last Friday about letting him go. Tillerson wasn't ill on Saturday but took the day to organize himself to exit. He came back early from Africa so Trump could make his termination public. It's interesting to look at the remarks Tillerson has made since Friday, since he was no longer serving at the President's pleasure.
Speaking of businessmen, if any Fortune 500 company had even close to the now near 50% turnover rate just about an year into iits operations, the CEO would have been fired by the board a long time back.
Such a high turnover rate indicates something severely wrong with the company and its operations, and its the CEO who needs to be fired and replaced by a competent head, not yet another of his underlings.
So much for running the government like a business...more like what you would see in Stalin's Russia.
I wondered earlier whether the Trump Organization has ever had a 45% turnover rate of key executives in a 14-month period. That might explain all the bankruptcies.
Tillerson's comments today at the State Department omitted any mention of Trump, and he emphasized kindness, respect, and honesty - traits that are alien to this president. Welcome to the club, Rex, you were and are a decent person, and will be better off away from the circus on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Thanks, I didn't know he gave a statement, I'll look for it now.
and I completely agree with your post, those traits are lacking in Trump.
See, here is where things went bad. Trump hired Tillerson and thought he was going to be a yes man, just like all the other boot lickers. But Tillerson has been successful, is intelligent, and has guts. He was not afraid to say no to Trump, and, as we all know, Mr. Very Thick Skin can not take anyone who dares to go against his wishes.
Tillerson was the polar opposite of all the duds Trump has hired so far, and it was just a matter of time before he was going to be fired. Too bad, it was nice to have one person who had a brain in this very dimwitted administration.
Bet Tillerson is having a scotch and water right now and saying "Thank you , Lord ! Free at last, I'm Free at last, Thank God Almighty, I am free at last !"
Tillerson said a few months ago that "Trump is a F'n moron", and he was absolutely correct.
When I saw Tillerson's interview on 60 Minutes a few weeks ago I was struck by how poised and absolutely in command he was and is. This is a man who feels comfortable in his own skin, who exudes confidence and is clearly intelligent. He is essentially the opposite of Trump, who even on his best days is immature, mercurial, petty, cowardly, insecure, and weak.
Well it sure looks like Pompeo is Trumps man, he wants to kill the Iran Deal and is rather hawkish on NK. It should be rather entertaining having a Secretary of State that supported water boarding, I don't see him as good fit for this job. I don't think he will have many disagreements with Trump but I wonder if he will tell him when he disagrees with him as was the case with Tillerson.
Pompeo at least acknowledged Russian interference in the 2016 election but I haven't heard much beyond that.
