Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson Is Now Interviewing to Be Donald Trump’s Secretary of State
Fortune ^

Rex Tillerson, Exxon Mobile’s XOM 0.51% CEO, is in the running for a new job: Donald Trump’s Secretary of State.

The Wall Street Journal, citing an unnamed transition adviser, reports that the energy executive is set to set to meet with Trump for an interview this week. Tillerson’s interview comes after Trump aides said the President-elect had settled on four finalists. But Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said Sunday that “there’s not a finite list of candidates,” adding that there’s “more than four.”

Most notably, Trump is considering 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. He is also considering West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin and California Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, the Journal reports.

This is exactly what should happen, and more, if we stand any chance of surviving as a nation.

That video you shown of Romney was the first time I seen that lady Rachel Maddow. I don’t watch TV. She is a vile individual

I know Exxon was pressured into agreeing with the Global warming scam. Was Rex on board all along or just gave into it?l
thanks

That’s probably the gist of the meeting.

Trump: After I have General Mattis secure the oil region, how long before you can take the oil?

Tillerson: Keep the existing pipelines intact and I will start taking it on day one!

Trump: You’re hired!

Trump called my landline over the weekend. I told him to stop bothering me about SoS position. He just kept talking and finished with an offer to send me a new hat. I made it clear that I was not for sale at any price!

I’d happily take Rex Tillerson for EPA too.””

ONLY if Tillerson agrees to take the job at EPA ONLY long enough to totally shut it down.

Otherwise, it might be the waste of a good man.

I want the EPA to end entirely.

I still like Palin for Energy. She's been a successful governor of an energy state and she knows what to do.

Don’t know much about this guy but I am happy to see that Trump is bringing business leaders into the administration instead of political hacks.

Smoke and mirrors. All designed to keep the liberals and media types (but I repeat myself) alternating between confused panic mode and simply chasing their tails.

I think the thing to note is that there is no establishment making these decisions for a figurehead president.

Your typical overseas oil company project superintendant has a surprising amount of hands-on experience in dealing with foreign governments, military, police, bureaucrats, at every level top to bottom.

That's an interesting perspective, marron. I'd certainly prefer Rex Tillerson to Mitt Romney.

Rachael Maddow is a vile disgusting person with her condescending narcissistic snarky snarl disguised as a smile.

The hate and contempt for her “lessors” oozes out of her eyes...like blood coming from her eyes.

Then at the end of the video she puts on glasses and promotes MSNBC disguised as the girly man Chris(tine?) Hayes.

If Trump doesn’t throw Romney a bone he will go back to attacking our new President.

Sec of State for Romney would be a big mistake.
