He was a puppet of Condi’s, which makes him a Bush globalist.

One thing Trump has done is to cause all the Pat Buchanan 1930’s Republican isolationists to come out of the closet

...as opposed to Woodrow Wilson 1910's internationalists such as the Clintons and the Bushes?

Fox now reporting from State Department that Tillerson did not know he had been fired and wasn’t aware that he was at odds with Trump.

I think that Tillerson supported Jeb in the GOP primaries, so I was wary of him from the start. On the other hand, some of the most obnoxious members of the GOP like Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham opposed him, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. The best that can be said for Tillerson is that he wasn't really an ideologue like the Bush people, so he did no real harm, the worst that can be said is that he was completely ineffectual.

He’s also pulled a lot of globalist Free Traitors™ out of the wood work.

I appears like Tillerson was in fact, fired on Twitter.

T Rex probably was not that enthusiastic about Trump’s new tariff stands.

Also, a lot of Clinton’s, Joan Kerry’s and Obama’s left wing POS’s are still in the State Department.

Former CIA Director Mike Pompeo can start pulling those weeds and prevent leaks in upcoming talks with the NORKs and trade talks with those involved in trade wars with us.

He seems to have been fired last Friday without leaks.

Let’s face it. Hillary should have been kicked out as SOS 10 times....at least. She just had, as we now know, too much on Obama.

Trump giving praise (faint?) as he departs for CA. Says he’s a good man but didn’t mesh, will keep in touch but Rex will be happier now, says Tillerson disagreed on the Iran deal.

I find that most encouraging. It does appear that all the WH leaks have been plugged.

John Roberts on Fox saying Trump requested his resignation on Friday.

Would it be too much to hope the hapless AG Jeff Sessions is requested to step down too?

They’ve been here all along and aren’t as bad as the apologists for the Bush crime syndicate.

MORON.

He allegedly called President Trump a moron. Then he would not comment on CNN.

And what the hell is he doing on CNN?
