This looks like an attempt by the media to take one question by Laura Ingraham and create a story where no story exists. If he made the same answer to a question about Jeff Sessions that would be different but this is a nothing burger.

You didn’t see the flashing neon sign behind Trump’s head that said “TILLERSON IS GONE!”? Yeah, me neither. Ya gotta give ‘em an “F” for effort though. Fidiots.

The guy that needs to be gone is Sessions. He isn’t doing trump a bit of good. He needs to be replaced by someone with Testicles.

The big one is when Trump just plain says it may not be all that neccessary. Tells me he knows more than his opposition does about what is neccessary in government and what isn’t.

Unless DJT specifically told Sessions to wait until he initiates the ambush.

I watched that part of the interview. I kind of took Trump’s response as Tillerson possibly getting burnt out.

Rex could have already privately given notice to resign after this trip.

“The relationship between Trump and Tillerson has been fraying ever since NBC News reported last month that Tillerson considered quitting in the summer, at one point reportedly referring to Trump as a “moron.” “

Tillerson said that’s a lie, so that’s a lie. Period.

He could have, but not likely, see the videos in post 12.

I saw those at the time. And I have no clue. Just speculating aloud.

Many at least partly in the know reportedly have been of the opinion that he wouldn’t last long in the job pretty much from the start of his service.

I was a bit amazed that Laura Ingraham made this out to look like Trump was NOT supporting the guy.

This was a classic example of how to conduct an interview. I am not a YUGE fan of Laura Ingraham. She’s “okay”, but this new show of hers is FANTASTIC! Factor BURIED by Angle.

Poised, not intimidated, not nervous, no softballs, no gotchas, REAL questions (no boxer/briefs questions), kept to her schedule of getting in her questions, and LOOKED GREAT!

Megyn Kelly WHO?

I really like Tillerson and think he’s doing a good job. Much better than I’d expected. I like his no-BS tone and demeanor, and expect it gets some major respect from people he meets and has to work with.

Yes. IT shows what an absolute light weight, one dimensional person Kelly is. I mean Laura was respectful, asked great questions, moved things without some agenda to trap the president.

Love her show. Have watched every show thus far the next day, usually in the morning via youtube sans commercials.
