President Trump runs it like a successful business should. Perform according to my vision, which means America first, or you are gone.
I have never seen this before.
They could all stand to learn a little about teamwork, and “commander’s intent.”
Semms Tillerson decided he knew better what America’s policy with Iran should be - just like he decide he knew better what the Boy Scouts’ policy on homosexuality should be.
Which explains why Trump fired him unceremoniously on Twitter.
Actually Tillerson had an almost impossible job. I don’t envision any deal that Trump, EU and Iran would all agree to.
Tillerson should have known that and defaulted to Trump’s other position - scrap the deal. A deal without verification is no deal. Better no deal than a bad deal that allows Iran to build nukes.
But how do we get our money back?
If that’s the case then AMF!
This is the kind of situation that develops when the swamp is allowed to operate for ITSELF rather than for the good of the people of America and the country in general. Getting rid of Tillerson shows what happens when we have a REAL American president work FOR the country.
Keep draining the swamp!!!!
Tillerson should have known that and defaulted to Trump’s other position - scrap the deal. A deal without verification is no deal. Better no deal than a bad deal that allows Iran to build nukes.
This is where “the resistance” and Never Trumper gaslighting has done great damage. Instead of following POTUS’s agenda like a subordinate should Tillerson decided he knew better and freelanced. This was never going to end well once he did that.
If this is the case then good riddance to Tillerson. What I can’t understand is Trump firing Tillerson fo good cause while Sessions continues to undermine the president and country every day he continues at DOJ.
Such a rouge bid would have gotten him executed four hundred years ago, and charged with treason two hundred years ago.
Trump must have been irate if Tillerson was fired in the manner that has been publicized.
And Trump firing him was out in the open, whereas Tillerson’s actions were a clandestine betrayal of monumental repercussions. Which is the worse behavior? Why does Tillerson deserve respect, when he has been most disrespectful.
Tillerson got swept up in the “Trump is stupid” delusion.
A deal without verification is no deal. Better no deal than a bad deal that allows Iran to build nukes.
Tillerson’s mistake was to essentially WILLINGLY adopt the agendas presented to him by the Deep State globalists which make up the great bulk of State Department bureaucrats. He did that even where the Deep State agendas were hostile to the vision of President Trump. Tillerson wasted a year of his life and he will not be missed.
Actually Tillerson had an almost impossible job. I don’t envision any deal that Trump, EU and Iran would all agree to.
The EU is still taking terrible advice from Trump hating Democrats not to deal with him. This level of undermining a sitting POTUS has to be unprecended in US history.
Steal it back.
Tillerson proclaimed himself and was know as a supporter of the Council on Foreign Relations views that are Holy Writ in the State Department. Seems like the President felt he couldn’t go far beyond the usual CFR/Goldman-Sachs crowd.
John Adams. Same thing happened to him. Abe Lincoln to a degree.
Lincoln was hated by the press also.
President Trump should have sent Tillerson to Iran for a meeting with the Iranian wackos, and fired him while he was in that meeting.
That would send a message.
Tillerson was a successful executive himself who has forgotten what it is to work for someone else and to promote and implement their policies and decisions.
In his days as a chief exec he would have unceremoniously canned anyone who did to him what he did to Trump so why would anyone expect something different from Trump?
Every decision like this that Trump makes is not completely ruled by political calculus. This is what has been lacking in presidents for a long time.
