Agree. Tillerson was a CEO-not a business owner. As CEO you best do what the majority shareholders want or you are gone. Our state dept. has been a problem since before WWII. I recall the old Colonel’s and Gen’s bad mouthing state every time they had a few drinks in 57-63.

Trump didn’t fire him by tweet on Tuesday.

Accuracy matters.

“by Tillerson to save the Iran nuclear deal”

You have to be s**ting me. If true I would have fired his sorry @ss in a minute. IMHO the Iran deal was a big diplomatic blunder unless you despise the United States.

“President Trump runs it like a successful business should. Perform according to my vision, which means America first, or you are gone.”

That’s fine, but what’s disappointing is that he would choose such people to start with. He’s made some really bad personnel choices that are biting him in the ass. Putting Sessions in as AG being the worst by far.

On the plus side, he’s learning.

Let’s not forget that he was up against a very hostile Congress who is in charge of confirmation hearings.

All these crud are used to the river of $$$$$$ that USED to be DC politics....It’s what they are used to and what they expected, now Trump has choked off the money. Of course they feel cheated and they hate him for it.

You can bet Tillerson had a little money-making deal of his own going on and Trump nixed it.

Yeah, Tillerson was informed last Friday and that whole 'got sick and came home early' story from Tillerson was BS.

Tillerson should have known that and defaulted to Trump’s other position - scrap the deal.

And then what?

According to Tillerson he did.

But how do we get our money back?

Pick Obama up by the ankles and start shaking.

The only thing Tillerson should have doing in regards to Iran is finding out HOW to nix the deal and how to get America’s money back. I can’t believe that he was trying to save this monstrosity. My only questions is why it took Donald so long to toss this loon.

Rex could have been good at his job if he would only get on the boat - can’t be speaking for the President if you ain’t 100% for the President.

Actually Tillerson had an almost impossible job.

Trump dat if you consider he thought he was working for a Moron. He clearly was about to collapse in disbelief yesterday when he announced his departure, he appeared in a near panic attack. If he was shocked that he was fired then he is too stupid to be anywhere near policy making.

This is what Reagan should have done with Caspar Weinberger after the latter belayed RR’s order to bomb Hizbollah after the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut.

First I recall seeing this, do you have a source? Never understood why RR tucked tail and ran.

Tillerson is scum.

He was not very good at his job, that's for sure. Not one of Trump's better appointments.

Dunno. Ask Trump since it was one of his options.

Too bad he doesn't apply that to Sessions. A huge disappointment.
