T-Rex has breakfast he said with the Mad Dog. They work closely together

What a hell of a combo.

I listened yesterday to the man casually speak about what the world really is like. He is truly an American treasure. The past is over. There is a new direction under his great leadership

I was listening to an interview he had with NPR this morning on my drive into work. The man is VERY well-spoken and thoughtful, yet still conveys Trump’s approach to foreign policy. An exceptional choice who is uniquely qualified because he is up on world events and knows the players, without the ties to Military, Dept. of State, CIA or the U.S. Congress.

Does anyone miss John Kerry?

Not in the slightest!

So glad that he and the one that picked him are both gone.

Nikki doesn’t need to be reminded.

From my very limited understanding, she’s the ambassador to the UN. Tillerson is at State, which represents us abroad. State is foreign policy, and since tension with the norks is reaching a level where the ceasefire might evaporate, it’s better for him to brief the useless idiots comprising the UN.

Do you recall his drilling by little Marco? It was like a grade school kid asking questions to the principal of the school. the man is very measured in his answers and body language.

You’re right. The adults are finally back in the WH, since the day of Reagan, Eisenhauer etc. The bar will be set very high from now on.

Time to make North Korea great again. Lots of starving beautiful babies there that make Ivanka sad.

I am so happy to have Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State. He is such a welcomed change after Hillary and Kerry. Such a welcomed change.

Anyone with familiarity with China and Russia's past typical behaviour in the UN will see this is new and different from China... usually China and Russia VETO the U.S.'s stance.

China basically doesn't want to be THE ONE who is responsible for N.Korea....wants all of the Un parties to be involved and “take the low lying fruit”...basically chip away as they've done for decades....LOLOL.... They want talks to resume.....

Uk put N.Korea right back on China’s shoulders...coupled with Un members holding to the sanctions now and those to come.
