But you're not in charge. And I voted for Trump, not Tillerson or anyone else. If Trump thinks someone needs to be fired, I'm good with it. No problem.☺
I have no problem with Trump making the decision. My point is that Tillerson's policy differences with the President are more of a reflection of the State Department's views and the effect they have on Tillerson than anything else. Pompeo will have to deal with the same kinds of problems. Will he buck the institution's views thus engendering a backlash among the bureaucrats who will then seek to undermine him or will he go along to get along recognizing that his perceived success depends on the support of the bureaucrats?
The bureaucracy has many ways to knife the political appointees in the back without being held accountable. Leaking is a very powerful weapon.
