Rex Tillerson will leave his role as secretary of state, President Donald Trump announced in a tweet Tuesday morning. Trump’s announcement came shortly after the Washington Post reported Tillerson’s ouster.

CIA Director Mike Pompeo will take over as secretary of state, and his deputy, Gina Haspel, will become the new CIA director, according to Trump’s tweet.

I think the job was simply too much for him.

Tillerson has been an unwitting part of the left’s RussiaRussiaRussia strategy.

Is this really a surprise?

When Kim Jong Un announced ready for a summit meeting , the Secretary of State had no idea it was going to be announced. No particulrly acceptable on many levels in any organization. Having said that, I am convinced the only reason things are moving forward with North Korea is exactly because the corrupt State Department is not involved. You all notice . . . no leaks!

Go POTUS

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.
