WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was on the verge of resigning this past summer amid mounting policy disputes and clashes with the White House, according to multiple senior administration officials who were aware of the situation at the time.
The tensions came to a head around the time President Donald Trump delivered a politicized speech in late July to the Boy Scouts of America, an organization Tillerson once led, the officials said.
Just days earlier, Tillerson had openly disparaged the president, referring to him as a “moron,” after a July 20 meeting at the Pentagon with members of Trump’s national security team and Cabinet officials, according to three officials familiar with the incident.
While it's unclear if he was aware of the incident, Vice President Mike Pence counseled Tillerson, who is fourth in line to the presidency, on ways to ease tensions with Trump, and other top administration officials urged him to remain in the job at least until the end of the year, officials said.

WHO do we believe??
The media just won’t quit.
News from July incident?
I’m not sure why Tillerson still has his job. His heart obviously isn’t in it. He isn’t serving the President well. I doubt he’ll last out the year.
Frankly, I would like to see Tillerson leave. His impact has been generally nil and he has done next to nothing to drain the Foggy Bottom swamp or the embassy culture that operates abroad.
This has a ring of truth to it.... but it’s a “yesterday’s news” item.
Tillerson is a globalist, get rid of him.
Also, his primary job should be draining the swampiest part of DC cesspool, the Dept. of Sedition, which he supposedly heads. He gets along to good with those people.
It took FOUR people to write this.
Each will have plausible deniability, claiming they thought one of the others verified the fake details.
Who the hell is the “boSs” in this country?
Lies from nbc.
They colluded.
Tillerson Lobbied For Gay Youth in Boy Scouts: https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/michael-w-chapman/trumps-sec-state-rex-tillerson-lobbied-gay-youth-boy-scouts
I can see how a socially leftist guy like Tillerson would take issue with Trump's excellent speech. It's disheartening see Swamp rats like Rex (and Kelly and McMaster and others) surrounding the President.
“I’m not sure why Tillerson still has his job. His heart obviously isn’t in it. He isn’t serving the President well.”
I agree completely.
“I doubt he’ll last out the year.”
On that, I’m unsure. In my judgement he should be fired now!
What’s known is that President Trump has not broken the string of the Council on Foreign Relations/Goldman-Sachs owning the key positions under every president.
I’ll wait for a reputable new source.
