Trump is clearly looking for a Chief Negotiator rather than a Chief Bureaucrat. That alone would set off the concern trolls who think THEY are the smartest people in any room they happen to be in. Trump and Tillerson will come up with the strategy and Tillerson will make it so. You don’t go from running the worlds largest petro company (and #2 overall) to running the State Dep’t just to push paper and ride on jets, he’s done that his entire career. You go to make a difference in the course of history.

The problem is Trump isn’t negotiating an oil deal here. Even considering Putin’s BFF for Sec. of State will have real world consequences. If Trump is not careful we will get into the situation we have with the kenyan where nobody trusts the United States. That’s not how to advance his agenda and is certainly not good for business.
