Being from an executive background, I’m surprised he’s stuck around this long.

I think they bought into the line “I can be Presidential”.

Trump should have put Newt in that job and Rudy at AG.

It takes four women to write a gossip story. How original!

Being from a corporate background I'm surprised he hasn't staffed the State Department properly. He didn't run Exxon on his own; he had several layers of executives to make sure everything operated smoothly. But he's running State like a one man show.

Which I think is just more evidence that he really doesn't want to be in the position he holds. His interest isn't there. He doesn't seem to be motivated. He doesn't even try to be on the same page as the President. He is not serving this country and this administration well. Rumor has it that his wife pushed him into accepting the job. If true then he needs to go, and soon.

Tillerson’s staffed his office with Beltway RINOS. Very few Trump people are still there.

Tillerson: I have never considered leaving this post
Secretary of state addresses ‘erroneous’ media reports about tensions with President Trump.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Wednesday blasted an NBC News report detailing his supposed rift with President Trump, affirming his “commitment” to the administration and denying that he ever considered resigning.

The NBC News report had said Tillerson considered resigning over the summer amid disagreements with the White House.

“There’s never been a consideration in my mind,” Tillerson told reporters, in a previously unscheduled statement.

The report had said Tillerson even called Trump a “moron” this summer after a meeting at the Pentagon with members of Trump’s national security team and Cabinet officials. Vice President Pence reportedly got involved at the time to discuss ways to ease tensions.

Tillerson said Wednesday he would not address “petty” stuff, but said of the president, “He loves this country. He puts Americans and America first. He’s smart.”

Trump, en route to Las Vegas to meet with survivors of Sunday’s mass shooting, also hit back Wednesday at the report.

“NBC news is #FakeNews and more dishonest than even CNN. They are a disgrace to good reporting. No wonder their news ratings are way down!” Trump tweeted.

Anybody, who believes this crap is not a Trump supporter.

Those, who condemn Trump on Free Republic after reading crap like this are trolls, paid or unpaid!

Below is the reality if anyone is interested. We know the trolls are not interested in the truth/reality!

“according to three officials familiar with the incident.”

Name them or it didn’t happen.

Remember, Reagan put a lot of liberals around himself too

True, and I wasn't happy about that either. Maybe he wouldn't have turned tail when Hezbollah murdered 241 U.S. Marines had it not been for their influence. Or granted amnesty to 3 million illegals.
