And that was the fatal mistake voters made-thinking a businessman would understand how to run a government. They are not even vaguely similar. Thus, many of Trump's appointees, who are successful in business, are just as clueless about their jobs as he is. At least Tillerson is (usually) diplomatic and reserved. I can understand how having a boss like Trump would make someone finally finally blow their top, though.
keep in mind Trump runs a privately held family business, so it's not even like his experience is analogous to a Fortune 500 CEO either.
Because Chuck Schumer in the Senate has the power to hold everything up. Just like Mitch McConnell did to Obama.
Without a super majority in the senate, things stagnate in times like this.
So bringing in Tillerson an Oil Exec with no foreign policy experience was done so because Schumer would approve it?
The dems have been holding up all sorts of appointees from day one.

gee, it's funny how Schumer's been able to hold up the appointment of every member of Trump's cabinet, not one of those has been confirmed by the Senate yet, huh?
Only thing is it's being reported that Tillerson was not aware he was being fired. He learned about it via the text by Trump.
So, Trump is actually a coward in real life. He fired Comey while Comey was in California (and then Trump was mad that Comey was able to use government transportation back to DC) and he fired Tillerson while he was on his way back from Africa.
Trump did not have the courage to face either man face to face. Trump falls into the weasel category where Pat Riely informed the Knicks he quit via a fax and Bill Belichick Jets resigned as HC of the NYJ on a napkin. Real class act.
From the get go, Tillerson was put at a disadvantage by the Trump administration. Why would a leader do that? Trump's preference for operating in chaos is beyond troubling. It actually hurts our diplomatic efforts with EVERY country. We will have to spend years trying to mend the alliances Trump is destroying.
Putting a globalist as Sec of State was the only way he would have been approved by the Senate and Schumers ability to block it.
Sessions has been doing more than anyone expected behind the scenes.
Unlike the close buddy buddy relationship Holder had with Obama directing his every move, Trump doesn't have a clue what Sessions is doing.
Big things are happening, in a far away land from the DC swamp monsters, called Little Rock.
Sessions was sneaky. He started investigations into everything Clinton and Obama as soon as he hit the ground..... Not in DC.... In the Heartland.
how's the weather today in your alternate reality? Is it sunny? What time does Infowars start there?
