Is Tillerson Getting Ready to Quit?
U.S. News & World Report ^ | July 24, 2017 | Gabrielle Levy

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson may be considering resigning from his job as frustrations with the Trump administration may have him nearing the end of his rope.

People "familiar with Tillerson conversations with friends outside Washington" told CNN the mood in Foggy Bottom's Mahogany Row has grown increasingly dark in recent days, particularly since President Donald Trump gave an interview to The New York Times in which he publicly rebuked Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Tillerson and others are said to also be troubled by the turmoil at the White House, resulting in last week's shake up of Trump's legal team, the hiring of new communications director Anthony Scaramucci and the resignation of press secretary Sean Spicer.

More fake news of the “Trouble in the Trump Camp” variety.

Why would he quit when he is fulfilling his globalist agenda?

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson may be considering resigning from his job as frustrations with the Trump administration may have him nearing the end of his rope.

... or, just as likely (probably even MORE likely, given the track record of the press):

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson may not be considering resigning from his job as frustrations with the Trump administration may not have him nearing the end of his rope.


Just more fake news.

Tillerson needs to shoot this down ASAP as FAKE NEWS or RESIGN.

That’s it.

Very important that Trump purges that globalists at the State Department. They are more loyal to their fellow globalists at the EU and the UN rather than the American people. Suspect Tillerson won’t do what is necessary and the White House is leaning on him. If he can’t execute policy formulated by the duly elected President of the United States, then he should resign.There is great resistance to draining the swamp.

“People familiar with Tillerson conversations” - why do I doubt Tillerson would have people around him who would “chat” with CNN?

I fully expected this sort of “turmoil” from Trump’s team. If people do not perform, I expect Trump to ax them, just as he did in the private sector.

Even the most loyal Trump supporter should be disgusted by his public airing of grievances of Sessions. It is unseemly and immature to say the least. End it.

Please stop posting FAKE NEWS with ANONYMOUS sources. It is a waste of bandwidth. The forum is already running sluggish and fake news is making it worse.

Generally, it’s considered bad leadership for a chief executive to castigate one of his subordinates in public. I suspect Trump did it because he wants Sessions to resign rather than having to fire him.

Turmoil, toil and trouble.

Change is brewing....

Even The Schmuckster thinks H->! didn’t lose to the Rooskies now.

Unfortunately The Times are not changin’.
