Foreign policy leaders, including Tillerson and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, have been clashing with West Wing insiders, such as adviser Sebastian Gorka and chief strategist Steve Bannon, over foreign policy outlook and strategy, Reuters reports:

“According to a friend....Yeh right...”

That’s about as thinly sourced as you can get.

The whole Trump Team would do well to LISTEN better to each other.

With all due respect the president should sit back and listen, take recommendations, choose the option, and let his staff be responsible to EXECUTE the plan.

Please President Trump stop shooting from the hip.

Report: Tillerson Tells Friends He’ll Be Lucky to Last a Year at State Department

Wishful thinking from the left. So far, Tillerson (a DC outsider) has been the most effective Cabinet Member.

I like most of what I have seen from Tillerson, but I would like to hear him clarify his position on Israel. I have read conflicting reports, some claiming to quote Tillerson putting most the blame for the Palestinian citizen war with Israeli’s
on Israel. I don’t know if he said that or really believes it.

If true it confirms my suspicions about Global Warming Tillerson and H.R. McMaster. Bad choices both of em. Rex is a fail when it comes to Israel. McMaster is soft on the muzzies this is well known. The rats were delighted when Trump brought in McMaster. Rex has stated his belief in AGW many times and if he is at odds with Gorka I’ll take Gorka.Rex is the reason we didn’t move the embassy and why we re-committed to doomed to fail 2 state solution. Thank God Trump didn’t listen to him on the stupid Paris Climate deal.
